Hi,

I have a workbook which I populate with many worksheets, some of which
are PivotCharts. I would like to export them to a new workbook, but
I'm finding some difficulties. First of all, I have to collect all the
sheets to be moved in a Collection, or to store their names in a
String array, so that the ExportSheets subroutine will know which
sheets to export (btw, which approach would you suggest? I chose the
first one but I'm not sure it's the best).
My naive attempt at ExportSheets didn't really do what I needed:

Sub ExportSheets(shtColn As Collection, wbkName As String, wbk As
Workbook)
'Move the sheets in collection shtColn to workbook wbkName, creating
it if it is missing, and
'returning the reference to it
Dim sht As Object

'Add workbook
Call AddWorkbook(wbkName, wbk)

'Export sheets
For Each sht In shtColn
sht.Move After:=wbk.Sheets(Sheets.count)
Next

End Sub

(below you can find source code for AddWorkBook). I indeed obtain a
new wbk in which all the sheets are stored, but the PivotCharts are
not anymore linked to the sheet containing the PivotTables, so I
cannot modify them interactively clicking on the Field Buttons. I
guess I should move all the sheets together with a single instruction,
so as to preserve their relationships...is there a way to do a "mass"
Move? As always, general suggestions on coding style are well
received. Thanks,

Best Regards,

Sergio Rossi
