Default Check to see if Autofilter is Engaged

Thanks Dave,

I think it is solved.

I downloaded Debra's FL0018 workbook and removed the Data|List (Convert to
Range) so I could share the workbook.

Then I shared the workbook, filtered some columns and everything worked fine.

Dave,

I actually referred to the UDF described in FL0018 - Highlight Filtered
Headings in List. I must have overlooked FL0014 when originally looking
through the site. Do you think an error may still occur if the workbook is
shared?

You may find that looking at the row numbers of the autofilter range is easier.
They change to blue, too.

Did you look at Debra Dalgleish's site:
http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html#Filter
and download the file in this section:
FL0014 - Colour Filter Headings

To see if that helps???

In Excel 2003....

I have been asked to look into changing the color of the arrow on an
autofilter tab for a filtered cell from blue to some other color so it can be
more easily distinguished from the black tabs which are not filtered.

I know the actual color of the arrow cannot be changed. However, is there
some formula (like ISERROR() only ISFILTERED()) which can be used to see if
an autofilter is engaged on a particular cell?

I have also tried using VBA and conditional formats to change the color of
the Header cell when a filter was being used, but this is a shared workbook,
and when I was testing it out, I received an error(However, it did work when
the workbook was not shared).

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
