I also am curious.

If you wish, you could email the workbook to me.

But, if copying the data to a new sheet solves the problem why not do that and
delete the original?

Doesn't give you a reason for the problem however and that's what you are
looking for.

Thanks, good ideas and discussion there. My problem isn't exactly what is
described. My problem is when the filter is applied the status bar still
shows "Ready". Something is whacky on the data on this sheet. Can't
figure out what it is.

I have a spreadsheet where I enable auto filtering. When I select a
particular filter category, normally in the status bar, it says xx of yy
records selected. But this is gone in my worksheet. If I copy the entire
data set and paste it into a new worksheet in the same workbook and do the
filter, it works! The status bar is turned on. Any ideas why it doesn't
show up in this particular worksheet?
