Default Recording a filter which then doesn't work.

Andrew,

Thanks for this! :-)

Regards

Pete

It does seem to be related to that fact that the filter is on dates -
similar
code with plain numeric data works fine. OTOH the filter does seem to
be
getting set correctly: if after running the code I select the drop-down
to view
the "Custom" setting and hit enter (with no changes), it then displays
the filtered rows correctly.

(This is with Excel 2000 and UK settings.)

Generally this is because VBA uses US English formatted dates (mdy) and your

Good afternoon, all

I recorded the following action, to filter my databae to show rows whe the
Date field contained a date between 21/10/05 and 20/11/05.

Sub Macro7()
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=21/10/2005",
Operator:=xlAnd _
, Criteria2:="<=20/11/2005"
End Sub


As I recorded, the filter operation worked OK, but when I remove the

filter,
then run the macro again, the database filters out ALL rows so that only

the
firld headers are displayed.
Can anyone suggest why?

Thanks in advance
