The following example determines the setting for the cache connection and notifies the user. The example assumes a PivotTable exists on the active worksheet.
Sub CheckRobustConnect()
Dim pvtCache As PivotCache
Set pvtCache = Application.ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Item(1)
' Determine the connection robustness and notify user.
Select Case pvtCache.RobustConnect
Case xlAlways
MsgBox "The PivotTable cache is always connected to its source."
Case xlAsRequired
MsgBox "The PivotTable cache is connected to its source as required."
Case xlNever
MsgBox "The PivotTable cache is never connected to its source."
