Change hardcoded filename

Hi All........

I have the following code which works fine, but has the Filename hardcoded
therein, and whenever I change the filename, the macro quits working. How
might the code be changed to accomodate the Activefilename whatever it might
be?

ActiveSheet.PivotTableWizard SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"Labor!R9C3:R173C22",
TableDestination:="[BigOneReport1j.xls]Pivots!R18C1", _
TableName:="PivotTable1"

TIA

Change hardcoded filename

Do you mean as the source or as the destination or both. I will assume both
as an example:

set rng1 = Activeworkbooks.Worksheets("Pivots").Range("A18")
set rng2 = ActiveWorkbooks.Worksheets("Labor").Range("C9").Cu rrentRegion

ActiveSheet.PivotTableWizard _
SourceType:=xlDatabase, _
SourceData:=rng2.Address(1,1,xlR1C1,1), _
TableDestination:=rng1.Address(1,1,xlR1C1,1), _
TableName:="PivotTable1"

Change hardcoded filename

Thanks Tom, but I'm getting an error message "Run Time Error 424 Object
Required" stoping on the line....

set rng1 = Activeworkbooks.Worksheets("Pivots").Range("A18")

What might I be doing wrong?

Change hardcoded filename

Activeworkbooks is a typo and should be activeworkbook.

Change hardcoded filename

This one worked just fine, once I got over the "word wrap" thing <g.

Thanks for the alternative, Bob.
