Default Change PivotField Item with macro

Hi All

I have written a simple macro for a workbook that contains
a great number of Pivot Tables (all linked to external
databases or other pivottables). It adds a new item
(number 2) to the field period; See PivotChangePeriod.

Unfortunately, it does not work on all Pivot Tables and
then gives the error message "Unable to set the visible
property of the PivotItem class". I have no idea why it
does this. All Pivot Tables that are covered by the macro
contain field period with item 2 and I can manually add it
without any problem (when added, it does not overwrite
other pivot tables or something like that). Also, when I
record this with the macro recorder, it gives the same
codes as in the macro.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

regards,
Hans

Sub PivotChangePeriod()

Dim PT As PivotTable
Dim Sh1 As Sheets
Dim wk As Worksheet

Set Sh1 = Worksheets(Array('10sheets')

For Each wk In Sh1
For Each PT In wk.PivotTables
PT.PivotFields("period").PivotItems("2").Visible
= True
Next PT
Next wk

End Sub
