Default How do I see more than 1000 autofilter drop down items

Hi

I have a long list of over 12,000 individual company names...yet when I
apply an autofilter to the list and click the down arrow besides company
name, it only lists the first 1000 items so I cant scroll down and see all
the companys in the drop down list Do you know why this is so? Got any
ideas on how I can list all of the companys in the drop down list?
thank you very much!!

In versions earlier than 2007 the limit is 1000 items will be shown.

You can use a custom like "contains" or "equal to" etc.

See Debra Dalglesih's site for other workarounds.
