It's true that the filtered range has to be a contiguous range, but you
can hide
the arrows using code (or maybe just hide the columns (or move the to

right or far left of the range to be filtered).

A colleague who is using Excel 2002 is trying to filter some data.
The
problem is that there are two columns within the range that he does
not want
the filter arrows to appear on, for fear that if someone else got

they make a mess of it. I think that if you filter the data the range
has to
be a continuous area and cannot be separated by blank columns. Can
someone
confirm that this is correct or not? TIA

I'd point out that in Excel 200*3*, a range which is not contiguous and
contains blank rows and/or columns can be filtered if you select the
whole range before applying the Autofilter.
In code, you can hide whichever dropdown arrows you
like Range("F15:N26").AutoFilter 3, , , , False
'hide dropdown for 3rd column
Range("F15:N26").AutoFilter 5, , , , False 'hide dropdown for 5th
column
and of course, if the columns you don't want to show
dropdown arrows for are at the extreme left or right of the range,
simply don't include them when selecting the range to autofilter.
