How can I set PivotItem.Visible property to True?

[yumi]

What's wrong with the following codes? I can set visible=false but when I try to set it to true run I receive run time error
at "pi.visible = True"

Dim pi as pivotitem
sheets("pivot").select
For Each pi in ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Pivottable1").PivotFields("fieldname").PivotItems
If pi.Visible = False Then
pi.Visible = True
End If
Next

 

[yumi]

(correction!)Please ignore 'run' after 'set it to true'....
Any help would be appreciated!

Problem is solved. Thanks for Debra D.

Debra Dalgleish says that you have to set the sort option to manual as in
this code;

To prevent the error, set the Sort for the field to Manual. You can do
this in the code, for example:

Sub PivotShowItemAllField()
'For version 2000 -- show all items in specific field
'sort is set to Manual to prevent errors, e.g.
'unable to set Visible Property of PivotItem class
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Set pt = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1)
Set pf = pt.PivotFields("Salesman")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
With pt.PivotFields("Salesman")
pf.AutoSort xlManual, pf.SourceName '<==
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
If pi.Visible <> True Then
pi.Visible = True
End If
Next pi
pf.AutoSort xlAscending, pf.SourceName
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
