Excel 2003; Windows XP OS. I have a series of macros in my PERSONAL.XLS
workbook that create a number of different pivot tables. I can't set up to
run automatically, as I must create the datatables daily and they are a
different size each day. The macros must be executed in the order they were
created or they 'bomb'. When I look at the VBA code, each different macro
contains a numbered pivottable reference, reflecting its creation order (e.g.
PivotTable3). Is there a way to make the references valid regardless of the
order in which they are executed?

When you create the PivotTable with code you have the opportunity to give it
your own name, record a macro and look at the arguments, eg
TableName:="<pivotTable-name"

When you want to refer that PivotTable later

Dim pt As PivotTable
Set pt = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").PivotTables("m yPvtTble")
