I have a form with three controls ,
lstEmp - Employee Listbox with 3 columns
txtFilter - Text Box
cmdFilter - Button
I have hacked the code from web site examples and the help files.

When the form is opened the list is populated with the entire Employee
List via UserForm_Initialize. This works Correctly.

When I enter a filter value I cannot get the filtered results I want,
see cmdFilter_Click. I dont believe I am doing anything too dificult,
well it shouldnt be. Have done similar things in MS Access but Excel
seems to be a bit more tempermental.

I did get the filtered list working but the list contained a blank row
for all the rows filtered out. I added the list_row variable to control
the list when it is both filtered and not filtered. I cannot get it
working now though.

If anyone can correct, point out, simplify what I am trying to do I
would appreciate it.
