If you want to change the name of the pivot table, you can right click
on it, and then choose options. A screen will appear, with a field
called name, that you can change.

Sandy, if you want to update your pivot table whenever you change your
data, put the following code at worksheet_change:

activesheet.pivotables("PivotTable1").refreshtable

where PivotTable1 is the name you chose to your pivot table.

Hello!

Hope someone out there can help me. I need to update or
refresh a Pivot Table in code. Here's the scenario:

I am importing from an Access DB to Columns A through H
in
Excel. That spreadsheet has a Pivot Table at K4 through
Q33.

I tried recording a macro to get the language, but it
just
ignores it's own language when I put it
in "Worksheet_Activate" in Excel. I did notice,
however,
that on two different occasions, it referred to the
Pivot
Table as PivotTable2 and PivotTable4. I don't know
where
it gets that name from. Is there any way of looking
this
up? And why does it change? Why didn't it start with
PivotTable1, since it's the only Pivot Table in the
spreadsheet?

At any rate, I would rather, if possible, just put the
language in Access, but if I can't even get the correct
language for Excel . . .

Sandy
