Can't set pivot table object variable

Hello All,

I have a simple workbook with two worksheets that I named in the IDE as
wksImportedData and wksPivot, which hold an external data QueryTable and a
Pivot Table respectively.

I wrote a procedure to make it easy for my client to "reset" the pivot table
to its default configuration, in case they get carried away dragging fields
all over creation (and who doesn't, with pivot tables?). The problem is that
my object variable doesn't seem to get assigned to the pivot table like it
should. Here is the code:

dim pvtFinancials as Excel.PivotTable
set pvtFinancials = wksPivot.PivotTables("pvtAcctFinancials")

When I use pvtFinancials in the code, however, I get a 1004 error. As a
sanity check, I typed the following into the Immediate Window:

?wksPivot.PivotTables.Count

and got a 1. Encouraged, I typed:

?wksPivot.PivotTables(1).Name

and got a 1004 error. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going
on?

All help and advice are greatly appreciated,
- jeff
