Default Autofilter across two workbooks?

Hi All..........

Might it be possible to create an "Interrogator" workbook, and an
"Interrogatee" workbook.........ie, I have a database in one workbook and
understand how to run the Autofilter by macro within it..........what I want
to do is to set up another workbook, and have it contain a macro and the
AutoFilter Criteria to interrogate the database in the other workbook, and
report the results back to the "Interrogator" workbook. I've tried to
modify the Criteria code lines to bring in the cell values from the other
workbook, but no luck........

Please let me know if this is do-able.......

Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3

Hi All............

FYI, the answer to my question is "YES",....... one "can" build a small
"Interrogator" workbook that can use it's own AutoFilter macro/criteria to
interrogate the database in another workbook (on a network) and return the
results, (including hyperlinks). I got it all working today, and it even
ran off my USB pocket-stick.
