hmm.... I'm stupefied and very surprised.

Let's analyse the behaviour of the delete method

Assume a1:b10 hold data. row1 is header, row 4 is visible.
(make sure you have a copy of the data in a20)

?debug.print activesheet.autofilter.range.address :
$a$1:$b$10

activesheet.autofilter.entirerow.delete
deletes ONLY visible rows (row 1 and row 4)

whereas
Range(activesheet.autofilter.range.address).entire row.delete
deletes the entire range.

MOST UNUSUAL & VERY ILLOGICAL??!!

the autofilter.range should give a range object. pure and simple.
if I apply a delete method to a range it should delete that range.

It appears to me that the delete method tracks back the call stack,
find that it wasn't called by a "disconnected" range, but by the
autofilter range and then decides to delete the visible cells only.


Do you know more of these "sly" interpretations?
