MS Access 2007 Open Pivot Table without previous criteria
I created a pivot table and saved it as a form.
The form is opened with a command button with one line of code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTheForm", acFormPivotTable, , , acFormReadOnly, acWindowNormal
Works well for the users ... with one problem.
Each supervisor opens the pivot table and specifies the criteria they are interested in by using the drop down menus of the pivot table. This usually involves looking at employees in their department or filtering to see only a certain job title. When the pivot table is closed ... the next person who opens the pivot table sees the previous person's criteria and not all of the data.
I would like the pivot table to open without any specific criteria and simply display off of the availble data.
Any help on how to open the pivot table so all of the data is diplayed would be appreciated.
Thanks

An addition:
you should disable any form closing buttons and add event to On Key Press for the form:
Me.Undo
docmd.close acForm,"frmTheForm",acSave
Form will be closed without save on any pressed key

(AFAICT) This is the nature of a Pivot Table in MS Access
There may be a way around this that I am not aware of though...

Thanks for the comments ... I have not had any luck with the pivot table yet.
Me.undo prevents user from making any preferences while using the table and the code with acSaveNo does not error but it does not prevent the user's preferences from being saved (or stored) in Access. I'm beginning to think boaq2000 is correct in that this is the nature of MS Access.

Have you do it with On Key Press event?

Thanks for the help with the pivot tables.
The idea for a copy as a 'backup' is most likely what I'll do but I have to test that with multiple users hitting the table at the same time.
note: When using the on press event with 'undo': this prevented the user from making any preference changes...I need them to be able to that while they are viewing...just don't want those to be saved.
So thanks again.
