I have no win-vista, but testing on xl-2007 stil works (for me) ending on set pivot table line -?-
(no additional references, other than required for the connection/recordset objects)
after that, I "have to" finish the PT layout on the GUI (as previoulsy stated):
- activate the pivot-table (select any cell within your PT area)
- be sure the PT toolbar (pane in xl2007) shows-up and there will be available all of your button/fields
- place each button/field where it is needed (which one/s as rowfields, datafields, columnfields, pagefields)
- change (if necessary) the function (count, sum, other...), numberformat, ... for the datafields
hth,
hector.
