Pivot Table Creation

I'm having trouble programatically creating a pivot table. If I step through
the code below it works, but if I run it, it falls over on the Set PT line.
Can anyone see a problem with my code?
Thanks
Rob

Sub MakePivot(ReportName As String, DataAddress As String, ReportAddress As
Range)

Dim PTcache As PivotCache
Dim PT

Set PTcache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase,
SourceData:=DataAddress)
Set PT = PTcache.CreatePivotTable(TableDestination:=ReportAddress,
TableName:=ReportName)

I usually find it easiest to cheat and record the creation of a pivot table, then tweak the pivottablewizard code... it's inelegant, but it saves a lot of time!

Col

I found the solution. If anyone's interested then here's what was happening:

The DataAddress parameter being passed to the function did not include the
sheet name. (ie. it was something like "A1:H50"). When stepping through,
excel had time to resolve this address as referring to the active sheet, but
when Running, it did not.

Rob
