Hi, I have a VB app that opens an Access DB to run a macro to generate data in a table and then it call an excel macro which also accesses the same DB to get the data and put it in to two pivot tables on two different sheets. The problem I have is when the VB app calls the run method for the excel macro I get the error mentioned int title Run-Time Error '440' Method 'Run' of object '_Application' failed. The code for the VB app is below and the code for the Excel Macro is below that: I am not sure but is it possible that I need to close the connection to the DB in excel macro before making another connection for the second pivot table? I should also mention that this worked before I added the second pivot table.

I am desperate for a solution any help would be greatly appreciated.

VB APP CODE BEGIN

Private Sub Form_Load()
