Need pivot table to automatically highlight subtotal rows

I have a macro set up that creates a very generic looking pivot table, and I would like it to be able to automatically highlight the subtotal rows in yellow. Any ideas out there on how this is done. I am guessing that there is a simple solution to this, but I am having a brain fart right now....

You need to look into the object model of the Pivot Table.

here is a snippet from what we did:

CODE>>>
With xlWorksheet.PivotTables("Statistics")

' sort the status codes...
.PivotFields("Status Code").AutoSort xlAscending, "Status Code"

.PivotSelect "'No. Of Items'", xlDataAndLabel
xlApplication.Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 19

' format the 'Shares' count column
.PivotSelect "'No. Of Items'", xlDataOnly
xlApplication.Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0_);(#,##0)"

<<< END

Te best way to start is to turn on the macro recorder, right-click the pivot
table on the field you want rto change, and choose format cells, see if that
helps.

As you can see from the code above, you reference the table, then in that
table, you have a collection of PivotItems and PivotFields which you can
refererence and manipulate...
