I forgot to say I'm using Office xp - Excel 2002: which is why the
auto filter doesn't ring a bell for me. Is that Excel 2003 or 2007?

Excel 97 at the latest, and it may have been part of Excel 5. Just try
running the menu command Data Filter AutoFilter. Unless you've
modified your menu bar, it'll be there.
