It is definately an external data pivot table because when
I type:

?ActiveCell.PivotTable.PivotCache.Connection

in the debug window, VB returns the current connection.

You will get that error if the PivotTable which contains
the activecell is
not an External Data pivot table. You may get that error
under other
circumstances, but that was the only way that I could
reproduce it.

I am trying to change the data source of my pivot table.
The code that I normally use is:

ActiveCell.PivotTable.PivotCache.Connection
= "ODBC;DSN=GENERAL LEDGER;"

However I keep getting the follwoing message:

Run-time error '1004':
Application-defined or object-defined error

Does anybody have any suggestions as to my this might be
happening? TIA.

Steven
