Default Comment Function & Auto Filter

I don't think that is possible. You will see comments etc. belonging to the
current cell you are on while moving your cursor.

You are correct, I thought about it late last night; that's why I repharsed
the request. The suggestion seems to be working thus far. Another question:


Once I select a cell, B2, the comment for that cell appears, however if I
move my the cursor, other comments not applicable to the current cell appear.
I only want the comment applicable for the selected cell to appear and
remain visible until another cell is selected. Is that possible?

This is different from what you had described earlier.

Anyway, choose Edit-Go To-Special-Visible Cells only and the Copy and do
Paste Special...

I have used comments before and never had an issue, however with this
spreadsheet I am encountering the problem of comments attaching to different
cells.

When using the auto filter function, inserted a comment for to B6, copied,
then Paste Special/Comment to the remaining cells in the sorted information.
When I use the auto filter again the information appears in all my cells
instead of the ones that selected in the sort. Any suggestions on what I am
doing incorrectly?

Thanks,

I created a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) that has multiple comments; when the
information is sorted the comments are seperated from the original text. Is
there a way to make the comments "stick" with the information once it is
sorted? By the way the sheet will be protected and placed on the web.

Working on a tight deadline would appreciate a reply asap.

Thanks,
