Hi Andy
Try the EasyFilter Add-in first to copy the records to a new sheet

That's fine for one filter, but i need to do a lot of filtering and that
might be a bit cumbersome with filtering !
Thanks anyway

Hi Andy100
You can Autofilter and copy
See Debra's site also
http://www.contextures.com/xlautofilter01.html
Activate AutoFilter:
Select a cell in your data table and use DataFilterAutoFilter to
activate AutoFilter.
Tip: Shortcut for the English version is Alt d f f
In each header cell a dropdown will appear next to your field name.
Click on the dropdown in the Country field and choose Netherlands.
Copy the filter result
1) Be sure that the active cell is in the data range
2) Press Ctrl * to select all data or use F5SpecialCurrent regionOK
3) Press Alt ; to select all visible data or use F5SpecialVisible
cells onlyOK
4) Ctrl c or EditCopy
5) InsertWorksheet
6) Ctrl v or EditPaste
7) Select the sheet with the filter ( Sheet("Netherlands") in my example )
8) Press Esc
9) Press Alt d f f or DataFilterAutoFilter to turn off AutoFilter
Another way is to use EasyFilter

I have a large database which i'm continually updating. It has:
Col A Col B Col C Col D
Surnames First names Time In Time Out
what i'm wanting to do (in sheet 2) is for excel to look down column A
and
if it sees the surname "Smith" i want it to copy the whole entry (whole
row)
into sheet 2.
there may be 20 or so queries running at any given time though. That is,
i
might want it to copy all occurances of surnames "Smith" and "Jones" and
"Brown" etc etc etc into sheet 2. not particularly bothered which rows
it
copies them into as i can do a "sort" on them later.
Hope this makes sense !!!!

Andrew
