Yes here is the macro I recorded when I removed the
field...
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields
("Percent Overdue"). _
Orientation = xlHidden
Then I when I set the pivottable back to the way it was
right before the macro was run, and then run the macro
again, I get the error: "Run-time error '1004':
Unable to get the PivotFields property of the PivotTable
class"
This is why I think it may be an Excel or VBA glitch. Its
like the macro recorder is recording the wrong code.
