I've been working with scripting an autofilter.

It appears to me that to apply filters, etc, you need to do that from the
range object's autofilter property.

I had thought you would be able to dimension an object as an autofilter, set
that object to an autofilter, and then work through that.

Is that incorrect?

No, you apply a filter to a range.

Dim aFilt as Autofilter
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="C"
set aFilt = Activesheet.AutoFilter

However, the aFilt is an autofilter *object*. You can use it to examine
what the current settings of the items in the Filters collection are, but to
set those filters, you use the autofilter *method* of the range object.

ok.

I think you are confirming what I thought to be the case, though perhaps I
didn't state it well.

thanks.
