If your using the advanced filter, then use the copy to another location
option.

then you can delete the visible rows if anything is in the new location.

I have recorded a VBA routine that uses the Advanced filter (activated
from
the menu) to filter a dynamic range with 5 columns and around 300 rows of
data. It then copies the filtered data and pastes it into a another
location.
The problem is, if the filter comes up empty, instead of pasting one row
of
nothing, the cut and paste part of the procedure pastes 300 rows of "#ref"
into the location. In this case writing over my database... Anyone have an
idea about how to avoid this happening if the filtered data is an empty
set?
Thanks in advance,
