VBA Programmatically Create Pivot Table

Zones: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, VB Database Programming, VB Script

Tags: Microsoft, Excel 2003, 2003, XP

Hi,

I am trying to programmatically create a pivot table to run from a macro button on a instruction page. I have attached my code. It is a recorded macro and it does not work. I recieve error 1004: Unable to get the pivotfields property of the pivot class. The error occurs at the following line
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Program")

Why? How do I fix this so that will create this pivot table with out any problems.

I deally I would like the pivots to exist on each respective sheet with pivot in the tab name.
