The both represent the number 12 in xl2002.

From the immediate window:

?xlCellTypeVisible
12
?xlvisible
12

I think that xlcelltypevisible was added in later versions (xl97????). My guess
is that it is more self-documenting--but that's a guess.

Next time you're in the VBE, hit F2 to see the Object Browser.

Search for both and you'll see them.

Thanks for both responses. It works great.

Is there any difference between xlCellTypeVisible and xlVisible? I can't
find xlVisible in Help, but it seems to work just as well, and it's a lot
easier to type.

Try this Fred

Sub test()
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1:=Household
If
ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range.Cells.SpecialCells(xl CellTypeVisible).Count _
= Selection.Columns.Count Then MsgBox "no cells"
End Sub

I am setting an Autofilter with:

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1:=Household

However, sometimes Household doesn't exist in the table. How do I test
to
see if the selected range is empty? Is there a way to test whether
Household
exists in the Criteria1 list? Or is there a test to see if the
Autofilter.Range is empty?
