If the rows are hidden as a result of an autofilter, then replace won't find
them. The same thing happens when you do it manually.

Maybe you can unfilter, do your change and refilter?

or if the number of cells is small, loop through them and use the replace
function (or application.substitute if you're using xl97).

Can someone please confirm that even with protection

sheet or leave the cells un-hidded... I don't like either
of these options, because the users either see the
formulas or the sheet would be unprotected if the code
pukes...

Anythoughts?!?
