Good afternoon all,

I have come across an issue with a piece of VB code Ihave been using to auto filter another pivot table based on a cell reference and I am a bit lost.
The working code below works in other files but fails on the "Set pvFld" with error "unable to get the PivotFields property of the PivotTable class

So i recorded a macro of me doing this manually (bottom code" and the code looks totally different. Is there away to write this so the cell value can be used?
This is the first time I have come across this error as when I record the original steps in a working file, it doesnt look like anything from the one below, the only difference the current pivottable has an added measure in it

Working code in another file
Code:
Sheets("Pivot").Select
    Range("H10").Select
        ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").ClearAllFilters
            Set pvFld = ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("Week No")
            strFilter = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Pivot").Range("B4").Value
            pvFld.CurrentPage = strFilter

recorded Macro
Code:
Range("Q14").Select
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 2
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 3
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 4
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 5
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 6
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 7
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 8
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 9
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 11
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 12
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields( _
        "[Table_OldestCase].[Week No].[Week No]").ClearAllFilters
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields( _
        "[Table_OldestCase].[Week No].[Week No]").CurrentPageName = _
        "[Table_OldestCase].[Week No].&[5]"

thanks in advance
Gavin
