    Application.CommandBars("Format Object").Visible = False
    ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-15
    Range("E1").Select
End Sub

My code stops every time in this section.

How do I get the code to acount for a change in the name of the pivot chart and/or pivot table in this part of the code?

VBA Code: 
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        "Table978", Version:=6).CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="5a!R1C6", _
        TableName:="PivotTable5", DefaultVersion:=6

I use the same pivot table data every time from the same worksheet.

That kind of make sense now so when I copy the pivot table to the new worksheet do I need to rename it every time in the code?

Do you have or any else have any examples of looping and check to see if a pivot table name previously exists?

Every time I run the code now the Chart number automatically increments.

VBA Code: 
 ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = False
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 12").IncrementLeft 381.75
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 12").IncrementTop -61.5
    ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select
    Application.CommandBars("Format Object").Visible = False
    ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Text = "Names Occuring More Than Once In The Same Month"

In this case the next time I would run all of the code it would stop on this line:

VBA Code: 
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 12").IncrementLeft 381.75

Since the chart number changes.

How do I fix this?

Why do you copy the table from sheets 2?
How many pivot tables do you have?
How many pivot charts do you have?

I have one Pivot Table on sheet 2.

I have 3 different charts on 3 different sheets.

The first chart is on Sheet 5, then 5a and then 5b.

I use the data from the table in Sheet 2 to create the pivot table.

Hope this info helps and thank you for reading.

This macro delete all your pivottables.

VBA Code: 
Sub DeletePivotTablesWorkbook()
Dim Pt As PivotTable
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In Sheets
    For Each Pt In sh.PivotTables
        Pt.TableRange2.Clear
    Next Pt
Next sh
End Sub

When you call this macro in your macro the pivot table can be created whitout errors.

VBA Code: 
Sub Create_Pivot_Chart_2a()
'
' Create_Pivot_Chart_2a Macro
'

'
    DeletePivotTablesWorkbook
    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        "Table9", Version:=6).CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="5a!R1C6", _
        TableName:="myPivotTable", DefaultVersion:=6
    Sheets("5a").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("myPivotTable")
...

Thanks I was starting to think I had to declare a variable to keep it from constantly change the pivot table name.

I am slowly but surely getting there.

I gather I can do the same thing with the Pivot Chart?

Here is the code now:

VBA Code: 
Sub Create_Pivot_Chart_3()
'
' Create_Pivot_Chart_3 Macro
'

'
    Sheets("2").Select
    Range("Table9[#All]").Select
    Selection.Copy

    Range("A1").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
        "Table9", Version:=6).CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="5a!R1C6", _
        TableName:="myPivotTable", DefaultVersion:=6
        Sheets("5a").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("myPivotTable")
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    'ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
    '    "Table938", Version:=6).CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="5a!R2C6", _

        .Strike = msoNoStrike
    End With
    ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
    Range("E1").Select
End Sub

Now it is stopping on this line:

With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("myPivotTable").PivotFields("DOB")
.Orientation = xlRowField
.Position = 2

Thanks for shedding some light on the first part!!
