Issue with refreshing pivot tables in my code

[robs3131]

Hi,

The code below is not finishing when executed -- it just hangs up -- hitting
he "ESC" key doesn't even stop it -- Excle stops responding and I have to
shut it down completely when I execute this query. I did a lot of testing on
it by using "Stop" at various points in the code to see if I could determine
exactly what line of code is causing the issue. What I found is that it
doesn't appear to be any one line of code causing the issue...what I found is
that the code takes longer and longer to finish executing the further down I
place "Stop" until it finally completely stops responding where I noted below
('This is where the code hangs up).

Any idea on why this is happening? I am testing this code with very little
data (4-7 lines of data which is what each pivot table is using). I am now
experimenting with foregoing the pivot table in the code all together and
essentially duplicating what the pivot table does by using For..Next and
If..Then loops -- is it recommended that one not use pivot tables with macros
as they tend to cause the code to crash? Just wondering if that's the
case...thanks!
