Default "fixed objects will move" warning

Dear experts,
I am trying to post this again as I haven't solved my issue yet.
I have a long spreadsheet (3000 rows) with columns where many cells contain
comments. This causes the spreadsheet to give this warning message "fixed
objects will move" whenever I try to autofilter.... and I need to hit escape
hundred times to get rid of this message.
Can you imagine how bad this can be when the users are going to have to use
this and autofilter items in the spredasheet!

Can you please help me? Any hint is precious. I have already tried the hint
from the previous post to use Displayalerts=false triiggered by the
autofilter (I have used the worksheet_calculation event on a subtotal)
however this gets triggered AFTER the messages are dispayed.

Many thanks in advance!
Best regards

I haven't seen your exact issue but I have seen similar effects with
comments. What you can try is to set the properties for the
comments. Right click on the edge of a comment-Format comment-
Properties-select Move but don't size with cells.


Sorry but I think you will have to do this for all of your comments.
