Default How to keep Column headers with Autofilter & Freeze Panes

I have a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) with which I use Autofilter a lot. I also
freeze the panes just below the column headers (titles). With this in place,
once I scroll down past the first page, my column headers disappear. I've
tried putting in blank rows & moving the row on which I place the cursor when
setting up the autofilter. What can I do about this problem? thanks for
your help.

Make sure you apply the freeze panes with all the rows showing.

Dave,

Thanks for responding. Unless I'm doing something wron, however, when I
apply Autofilter to the column header (that's right, isn't it?), the actual
column headers disappear leaving just the Autofilter arrows for the columns.

What row are your headers in?
What row contains the arrows for the autofilter?
What row contains the start of the data?

If you want to see rows 1 and 2 (say) then
Show all the data (if you haven't already)
select A1 (just to make sure it's visible)
select A3
Window|Freeze panes

Everything above the selected cell (A3) will be visible.

Is something else happening when you do it?

Dave,

My headers are in rows 1 & 2. I apply the autofilter (and the arrows
appear) in row 2. Data starts in row 3.

I did what you said. and all is fine until I put a criteria in one of the
filters. Then when the data is actually filtered. I lose the 2nd (row
2)header row from view and the filter arrows appear in row 1. Under that
appears the filtered data.

I don't have a guess. But this isn't normal behavior for excel.

If you do the same thing in a test worksheet in a new workbook, do you see the
same behavior?
