Pivottable problem
 

Hi,

I have the following strange situation at hand.

I have written some code in excel 2002 and want to compile it to excel
97. Everythings works fine except for one line of code

When I change a rowfield "Prod" to a "Pagefield" in a pivottable

- With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Pivottable1").PivotFields ("Prod")
..Orientation = xlPageField
..Position = 1
End With-

the following line of code doesn't work anymore

-
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields ("PROD").CurrentPage
= "PROD1"-

and I get the following error

Runtime error "1004"
Unable to set the _default property of the PivotItem class.


If a run the code on a field that was already a pagefield I don't get
an error

If I record a new macro and simulate the action it records well the
following code
-
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields ("PROD").CurrentPage
= "PROD1"-
but I when I play the macro I get the same error.

It is as excel doesn't recognize the fact that I've changed the
pivottable layout.
Is someone familiar with this issue ?

Thx for your replies?

Aga

Pivottable problem
 

Aga,

If I recall correctly, Excel 2000 was the first version with Pagefields.
They weren't part of the Excel 97 program. So to be backward compatible,
you won't be able to use pagefields.
