Yes but you cannot activate a hidden sheet.

Change your code to

With Worksheets("BPNO_CPSCII").Range("A1:G1")
.AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*" & CPSC & "*"
End With


In general you never need to select before acting on a worksheet or its
objects.

Our code looks something like this:

Worksheets("BPNO_CPSCII").Activate
Range("A1:G1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*" & CPSC & "*"

BUT when it runs it filters the currently visible sheet and NOT the hidden
one (BPNO_CPSCII) as required

You can filter on a hidden sheet but not a protected one unless you allow
filtering. What methods have you tried?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use autofilter on a hidden
worksheet. I
know that as a workaround I can make it visible, do the do, and then
make
it
hidden again, but out of curiosity I wondered whether this is some sort
of
restriction??

We've tried several methods without any success.

Any help greatly appreciated
