Invalid Procedure Call or Arguement When changing Page item in Pivot table

Please help. I have recorded vb that changes a page item in a pivot table when selecting from a combo box - similar to this video.

http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/flashfiles/pivot10.html

The recorded code that vb gives me works only if it's selecting the selection that was chosen when recorded or if it was manually selected right before I choose the drop down item. Otherwise, it gives an invalid procedure call or arguement - runtime error 5.

This occurs in 2007 or compatibility mode. I think this is a new problem since it used to work okay for me.

Does anyone know what's going on??

It would help if you showed us some code and an idea of what data is in your fields.

Thanks,

Some of my attempts at code:
Sub SelectPer2()
'
' SelectPer2 Macro
'
'


ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Period").CurrentPage = Range("Start!d9")

End Sub
Sub Macro10()
'
' Macro10 Macro
'
'Sheets("Rept Sch piv").Select



ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Period").CurrentPage = Range("Start!d9")
End Sub
Sub Macro11()
'
' Macro11 Macro
'
'
Sheets("Rept Sch piv").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Period").CurrentPage = Range("a1")
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable9").PivotFields("Quarter").CurrentPage = _
"Q4"
End Sub

1. Is Period a page field?
2. What sort of data is in it?
3. What is in Start!D9?

Yes, period is a page field. It is a selection of 1-12 bases on which month we are reporting. It is a field in the pivot data.

Start d9 is the period #. I also have a names range "period" for this cell If that helps. I've tried this as a dropdown item and as a hard coded #. I was trying to make the pivot dynamic, however would settle on just having it run at all even by having a separate macro for each selection - but this isn't working anymore either. It used to, and it works the first time - which is why I'm so baffled.

Thanks so much for your help!!

Try something like:
Code:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields("Period").CurrentPage = Cstr(Sheets("Start").Range("D9").Value)

Wow, this seems to be working!! Did the code change in the new version of excel?

Thank you so much!!!

Could you possibly tell me how this would change when using a column and row item? I have other pivots I would like to change as well. I tried changing it to pivotitem, but that didn't work.

Thanks again!
