    Refresh pivot tables - "Error: Cannot update PT on protect sheet" (sheet not protexted)

    Dear all,

    I recorded/edited the following code to update some pivot tables on hidden/protected sheets. The code worked fine, but suddenly I get an error that "I cannot update pivot tables on a protected sheet" (see line in bold). However, this sheet is only hidden (not protected). I already included a line to unprotect it (even it's not protected), but I keep getting the same error message.

    Can someone help me on this and explain what i did wrong?

    Kind regards,

    Bart

    Sub UpdateActuals()
    '
    ' UpdateActuals Macro
    '

    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="otsa"
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (1)").Visible = True
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (2)").Visible = True
    Sheets("Pivots TT actuals (1)").Select
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (1)").Unprotect Password:="otsa"
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (2)").Unprotect Password:="otsa"
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotCache.Refresh
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable3").PivotCache.Refresh
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotCache.Refresh
    Sheets("Pivots TT actuals (2)").Select
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotCache.Refresh
    Sheets("Overzicht TT - Actuals & KPI").Select
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotCache.Refresh
    ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotCache.Refresh
    Rows("61:69").Select
    Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
    Range("I15").Select
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (1)").Visible = False
    Sheets("pivots TT actuals (2)").Visible = False
    ActiveSheet.protect Password:="otsa"
    End Sub
