Default This statement does not work in VB

I don't know if this is more of an Excel VBA issue or a
VB issue, so I've posted this question in both places.

I created some code in a workbook that gets some data
from a database, puts it in a worksheet, then creates a
pivottable from that data. When I run it from within the
workbook it works fine.

However, now I want to put the code in VB and have VB get
the data from the database, open the workbook, put the
data in the workbook, then create the pivottable from
that data. The code works except for this part:

'in VB I am passing the workbook to the code as
'objWorkbook. In Excel I just use ThisWorkbook.
'DataSheet is the worksheet object that holds the
'data. Reportsheet is the worksheet object where
'the pivottable goes.
objWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase ,
SourceData:= _
DataSheet.Range
("A1").CurrentRegion.Address).CreatePivotTable
TableDestination:= _
ReportSheet.Range("A9")

This code works in Excel, but when run from VB it causes
Excel to give the following error:

The PivotTable field name is not valid. To create a
PivotTable, you must use data that is organized as a list
with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of the
PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field.

How can I alter my code so that VB can run it against the
workbook?
