Macro not functioning

Hi guys. I've written the following macro to switch to another tab, download a pivot chart into excel and switch back

Sub Export_register_to_spreadsheet

ActiveDocument.ActivateSheet("Introduction")

ActiveDocument.ActivateSheet("Tabletab")

      ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TB30").restore

     'Set the path where the excel will be saved

     filePath = "H:\TestBB.xls"

     'Create the Excel spreadsheet

     Set excelFile = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

     excelFile.Visible = true

     'Create the WorkBook

     Set WorkBook = excelFile.WorkBooks.Add

     'Create the Sheet

     Set Sheet = WorkBook.WorkSheets(1)

     'Get the chart we want to export

     Set tableToExport = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TB30")

     Set chartProperties = tableToExport.GetProperties

   tableToExport.CopyTableToClipboard true

     'Get the caption

     chartCaption = tableToExport.GetCaption.Name.v

       'Set the first cell with the caption

     Sheet.Range("A1") = chartCaption

     'Paste the rest of the chart

     Sheet.Paste Sheet.Range("A2")

     excelFile.Visible = true

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TB30").minimize

     'Cleanup

     Set WorkBook = nothing

     Set excelFile = nothing

End Sub

Unfortunately when i click it, the code page pops up and highlights tableToExport.CopyTableToClipboard true

Sometime it works after a couple of tries but sometimes not at all. Can anyone help?

HI ,

  Have you selected the "System Access" and "Allow System Access" in both Requested Module Security and Current Local Security respectively .?

Check the Excel Object is closed after each operation. set to nothing. check the task manager for its running instances.
