Pivot Table Events
 

Is there any way to run some code before a pivot table automatically updates?
Unlike query tables, there seems to be no exposed events for the pivot table
object.

Thanks.

Pivot Table Events
 

In excel 2002 and 2003 (I believe 2002 was where they were added), there are
some pivottable associated events, but they belong to the application,
workbook and worksheet objects. You can go to the object browser and search
on pivot, then scroll through the results looking for the lightning bolt
icon signifying an event.

Pivot Table Events
 

There seems to be 3 pivot table events. An open and close connection event
and an after update one. However, I need to capture an event before the
connection occurs.
I am querying another excel workbook and need to test if the file is open
before I connect to the source. If it is open, I am saving a copy to the
local disk and changing the connection to query the saved file instead. (All
because ADO can't cope with querying open workbooks.)
Any suggestions on how to capture the event would be appeciated.

I would think, if there is no before update event, you would need to
eliminate any way to update the table except by using some button that you
provide (and the code associated with that button).

Worksheets(1).PivotTables("Pivot1") _
.PivotCache.EnableRefresh = False
