Default Autofilter Macro

Hello,

I have a table with a column called "Source". This column can take on any
one of 50 values. I would like to use autofilter to filter out about 30 of
them. Is it possible with autofilter & VBA?

I am thinking about using VBA to concatinate the 20 admissible source names
into one long string (strLong), then use it in an autofilter criterion on
the Source field. More specifically, I hope to find a criterion specifying
that the field value is to be part of strLong. Unfortunately, criterion such
as :="*<string*" works the other way round (ie it requires the field to
contain a certain string). So I got stuck.

Suggestions are most welcome! (I use Excel XP).
