Thank a lot that answers my question. I was afraid that it would not be
possible. I already did the method that you proposed I was just hoping that
there was a different method that i had overlooked. But i agree it would be
a good ehancement thank you.
best regards,

Yeah, it's clearer. You can't do that, sorry<g. You'd like Excel to act
as if the hidden rows weren't really there, or at least ignore them for
pasting purposes. That would be a nice enhancement. But you have to find
some other way to update the existing records. How about copying the
visible records somewhere else, pasting over the new data, deleting the old
rows from the database, and copying the updates rows to the end of the list,
and re-sort to get you back to the same order?

all of

and

my

disregards

the

by

I
