Binding in Visual Basic

Might give you some insights in what could possibly be causing this error.
I doubt anything will leap off the page for you, but your might be able to
identify something similar.

this isn't the only article that shows this error string. You might search
the knowledge base for

"The object invoked has disconnected from its clients"

or the error -2147417848

Hi Tom,
I get to select the pivot table, thanks, and I am cutting the data lines I
don't want in the new workbook.
Only I always get the automation error "the Object has disconnected from
its
clients". It looks like VBA does not recognize the active workbook
anymore.
Do you know how to avoid this? I am spending hours trying to get rid of
this
error but I am beginning to feel quite helpless!
Thanks
Kind regards

the properties

TableRange1
and TableRange2

should allow you to select the pivot Table. TableRange1 excludes
PageFields
and TableRange2 includes them.

Activesheet.PivotTables(1).TableRange2.Select

Hello,
unfortunately for some reason none of the 2 solutions work: on the
pivot
table, the fact of adding or deselecting the grand totals makes no
change in
the table. What could be the cause?
On the selection, the xldown selects only half of the pivot table
vertically
and only on the first column...

Thanks anyway!
Kind regards

Hi Valeria,

A couple of suggestions :

1. To delete Totals, there is no need to delete, it can be part of
Table Options

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1")
.ColumnGrand = False
.RowGrand = False
End With

2. The xlLastCell instruction can be tricky, it might be safer to use
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

HTH
