Pivot tables in Access are so insipid and fiddly that almost anyone who needs to use PTs seriously end up using Excel anyway, and either hooks Excel into the database or pushes the source out of the database into an Excel workbook / template which then automatically produces the PT using code.  Best of both world then.  Excel's PT ability is far superior to what is native in Access.

My advice would be that using Excel is still the better approach.  Of course your milage may vary depending on what you want to do.

Subject: [AccessD] Pivot Tables

Hey All
I have been fooling around with Pivot Tables, got everythng working. 
But........
After many hours of research, I have not experienced a more convulted 
description of how to programatically do things with ACCESSand Pivot 
Tables, properties, objects etc. when dealing with the Pivot Table. I 
can find tons of EXCEL examples but when you try out the examples they 
do not work in ACCESS. It is like MS said "Here you go, here is a new 
feature, but don't bother us, if you run into problems". If anyone has a 
good source of information for Pivot Tables and ACCESS (programming with 
VBA) could you please let me know.

 Thanks Kindly.
