property is True and the PivotTable cache is currently connected to its source. Returns False if it is not currently connected to its source. Read-only Boolean.
expression.IsConnected
expression Required. An expression that returns a PivotCache object.
Remarks
The IsConnected property does not check to see if the connection is connected. Even if this property returns True, sending commands to the provider could result in an error if the connection is no longer valid.
Requires that the cache source type is external and that it is an OLE DB data source.
Example
The following example determines if the cache is connected to its source and notifies the user. This example assumes a PivotTable exists on the active worksheet.
Sub CheckIsConnected()
' Handle run-time error if external source is not an OLEDB.
On Error GoTo Not_OLEDB
' Check connection setting and notify the user accordingly.
If Application.ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Item(1).IsConnected = True Then
MsgBox "The PivotCache is currently connected to its source."
Else
MsgBox "The PivotCache is not currently connected to its source."
End If
Exit Sub
Not_OLEDB:
MsgBox "The data source is not an OLEDB data source."
End Sub
