Can you tell how much over 1000 you are?

Hello,

This is a weird one that's never happened to me before.

I am using autofilter on what is a fairly substantial worksheet. For
whatever reason, when I filter on one of the elements in a column
(which should return well over 8,000 rows) I instead keep getting much
smaller numbers (like 62 or 68 or something). There are no breaks in
the column (everything is contiguous) and, as far as I can tell, the
elements appear in the autofilter drop-down list just fine.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm having some sort of memory
problem, given that I have a fairly substantial worksheet of 60,000
rows (columns:A-U).

Does anyone know why my autofilter would be failing me? Is there an
upper limit of memory/rows after which autofilter does not work?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,

-Pete
