I have a weird problem. My access database we will call db1.accdb exports data into an excel spreadsheet. &nbsp;Once the data is exported I need to be able to refresh the pivot in the spreadsheet from the access database (I'm trying to automate a process and asking people to refresh the pivot is too much :)<br />
<br />

<div class="bullet">
db1.accdb exports info into spreadsheet1.xls<br />
spreadsheet2.xl is linked to spreadsheet1.xls to get the raw data from there<br />
spreadsheet2.xls contains pivot1
</div>
<br />
I need to create some code in vba that when I click the Export Button in db1 will also refresh pivot1 in spreadsheet2<br />
<br />
so bottom line creating a button in access that refreshes an external pivot table in spreadsheet2.xls<br />
<br />
thanks in advance, hopefully I didnt make it too confusing

Refresh a Pivot Table from an access database

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
