i have a pivot table in an excel sheet that is linked to an access database.
i would like to program a macro to refresh the pivot table. i thought the
following would work, but it does not:

FinalRowFRONT = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("a" & FinalRowFRONT).Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

how do i get the pivot table to refresh?

i actually used the recorder to get the snippet "Selection.QueryTable.Refresh
BackgroundQuery:=False"...the only problem is i have a few different queries
to refresh that have variable starting points, which is why i used the
finalrow variable. the refresh only works for the range where the macro is
recorded. when i try using the variable range, i get an error.

Cool. Why not set the QueryTable Properties to automatically Refresh every x
minutes or upon open?
