I am using excel 97. I am trying to filter a worksheet of data which
contains a column of a time/date in this format: 02:05 03/11/05

I want to be able to create a custom filter in VBA of: = 07:00 03/11/05 or
<= 0659 04/11/05 but for some reason when I do it will not work. The
formatting of the column is 'GENERAL', however as a matter if interest when a
cell of this type is clicked on the format changes to 'CUSTOM' dd/mm/yyyy
hh:mm

Can someone come up with code as a solution for me, please?

for a start, turn on the macro recorder and apply your filter.

See how it records the criteria.

Also, your dates are ambiguous - are the mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy. VBA is
looking for mm/dd/yy

I have already done that to see what is reproduced in VBA and here's what it
is recorded:

Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="=03/11/2005 07:00",
Operator _
:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=04/11/2005 06:59"

The spreadsheet format is different to what is recorded, the date format on
the spreadsheet should be dd/mm/yyyy.

but in VBA it should be mm/dd/yyyy. Try that and see if your filter doesn't
work.

Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="=11/03/2005 07:00", _
Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=11/04/2005 06:59"

Sorry still won't work!

However I recorded what happened when I clicked on a cell:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "11/3/2005 1:35"

Which is as you quite rightly stated m/d/yyyy

I changed the vba to suit but it still doesn't work!

Maybe...

Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=12, _
Criteria1:="=" & dateserial(2005,11,3) + timeserial(7,0,0), _
Operator:=xlAnd, _
Criteria2:="<=" & dateserial(2005,11,4) + timeserial(6,59,0)
