Don
Thank you it works much better.

Can I impose another question upon you?

I have a macro which clears the input cells and also resets the Data List:-

Sub ClearList()
Range("H6:AC536").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A2").Select

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
Range("A10").Select

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("B6,B100,E10,B15,E15,B19,E19,B23,E23,B26,E26 ,B30,E30").Select
Selection.ClearContents

Range("A2").Select
End Sub
Again this works fine - but if someone were to press the button for this
code when it has already been reset, then the following error message
springs up:-

"Run-time error '1004'
ShowAllData method of Worksheet class failed. Any solution appreciated.

Thanks in advance and also for your earlier reply

use this for NO selections.
Sheets("Sheet1").range("a2").value=Sheets("Sheet2" ).Range("B6").value
'etc
'can be even more simplified by using a WITH (look in help) statement.
instead of

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("B6").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Hi

I have the following macro attached to a button on "Sheet2". User input
is gathered in certain cells on "Sheet2" and then via the (recorded)
macro transported to the Criteria area of a list for Advanced filtering.
It all works fine - except there is a whole lot of screen flickering -
presumably due to the macro diving back and forwards between sheets.

My question is simple - the answer may not be - can the code be
simplified to run more efficiently?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sandy
