IMHO you should use the best tool for the job. That tool would be Excel.  Excel's pivot table capabilities far exceed what Access can do and are much more flexible and powerful.  You can either export the recordset to Excel and create the PT or Excel will also let you hook a PT into many external datasources, including Access.

Personally I would avoid PT's and charts in Access.  Your milage may vary...

Hi all

I may have just missed it but I don't recall anyone discussing these on the
list. Anyway I've never used them but am in the position that a user has
started to construct an Access db and has created one and now needs help and
advice. Anyone know anything about them? Are they any good? Do they expose a
full set of methods and properties? Should they be avoided at all costs? Or
what? Who knows? Help!

Andy
