Default autofiltering

Is there a way to filter some data using autofilter and then mail just the
filtered bits so that recipients only see 'their' bits - apart from copy and
pasting the filtered data to different workbooks?

Thanks

If you save the workbook with the other bits hidden, then the user only "sees"
what you show them.

But that won't stop them from removing the filter to see everyone elses!

If that's what you want to stop, ...

You may want to look at the way Ron de Bruin and Debra Dalgleish approached it:

Ron de Bruin's EasyFilter addin:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/easyfilter.htm

Code from Debra Dalgleish's site:
http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html

Create New Sheets from Filtered List -- uses an Advanced Filter to create
separate sheet of orders for each sales rep visible in a filtered list; macro
automates the filter. AdvFilterRepFiltered.xls 35 kb

Update Sheets from Master -- uses an Advanced Filter to send data from
Master sheet to individual worksheets -- replaces old data with current.
AdvFilterCity.xls 55 kb

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

If you go to File/Send To, you should see an option for Mail Recipient as
attachment, and another option for (not sure of the exact wording here) Mail
Recipient in body of e-mail. If you select the latter, the data will be sent
in it's filtered form inside the body of the e-mail, and cannot be unfiltered.
