Default VBScript MS Excel Problem

Hi, David. I've done AutoFilter within Excel VBA a few times, and very
little scripting. Excel VBA Help for the AutoFilter method shows the filter
applied to a range with the column identified in the Field argument. If you
can, step through or Stop this code just after
o_wrksht.cells(2, 1).autofilter

and see if your AutoFilter did indeed come on (the drop-down arrows are
showing). If not, then your next line would error because you can't set the
AutoFilter arguments if the filter isn't on.

If the AutoFilter is on, then just off the top of this shallow fount of
experience, I would say try something like:
o_wrksht.autofilter 10, "="

If that doesn't work, you might try setting an Excel range object and using
the filter on that.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows the correct way to pass arguments to the
autofilter method when using VBScript to automate MS Excel. Below, please
find a code snippet that keeps failing.

Code:
Set o_excel = CreateObject("excel.application")
 o_excel.visible = True
 o_excel.workbooks.open v_file + ".csv"
 Set o_wrksht = o_excel.activesheet
 o_wrksht.cells(2, 1).autofilter
 o_wrksht.cells(2, 10).autofilter 10, "="

The last line returns an error, "Autofilter Method Of Range Class Failed".
Does anyone have any suggestions?
