Sorry, I don't work with OLAP pivots, so I don't think I can be of any use.
I suggest you start a new thread with the new problem, bring it to the other
guys' attention.

Hi Bob

I added the extra bit of code and ran it but it gives me the "Object
doesn't
support this ..." message. I get that message if refer to anything other
than the obj.Object.Value. However I have found a way around the problem
by
making the users run the selections separately and having the individual
modules clear the selectors as they finish.

I have a huge favour to ask you though - I have to filter a series of OLAP
pivots based on the same array and I just can't get it to work. Code I am
trying below:

If aState$(a&) = "(All)" Then
pf3.CurrentPageList = Array("[Customer
Country].[All Customer Country]")
End If
If a& 1 Then
For j = LBound(aState$) To
UBound(aState$)
For Each pi In pf3.PivotItems
pf3.CurrentPageList =
Array("[Customer Country].[All Customer Country]." & aState$(a&))
Next pi
Next j
End If

Bob, if you are just too busy to answer I'll completely understand!!

Thanks

I just tried it Sharon before posting and it worked fine for me. Where
did
you get that message, in the code for testing, or when setting it up?

Hi Bob

Tried the GroupName but it assumes exclusive option buttons rather
than
check boxes and the users have to be able to make multiple selections!
I
got
an error message "Object doesn't support this property or method".
Thanks
for coming back so quickly though.

Ah I see your problem now.

What I suggest doing is to select one group of CBs and set the Group
property to say "Group 1", then assign "Group 2" to the other group.
You
can
then test that property

For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects

' If the Checkbox was selected then ...

If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms.CheckBox And _
obj.Object.GroupName = "Group1" And _
obj.Object.Value = True Then
MsgBox obj.Name
End If
Next obj

Hi Bob

Here is the code that is being used to filter the pivots from the
check
boxes. But I have a second set of check boxes that allow the
users to
filter
on a second pivot field. I don't know how to tell the vba how to
distinguish
between the two sets of check boxes!

Thanks a lot

Sharon

Hi All - after having brilliant help last week re check boxes
I
have
one
more question. I need to distinguish between two different
sets
of
check
boxes (MSForms objects) on a worksheet. But for some reason
vb
code
won't
recognise a check box name property e.g. obj.Object.Name in
the
same
way
it
does for the value, e.g. obj.Object.value? If anyone has any
ideas I
would
be really grateful, as always!! Thank you all so much for
your
help
thus
far. You are making me look good!
