Tom,
The link did provide some direction
Also I learned that you cannot use the construct =01/01/2006 or <=
6/30/2006 as criteria cells (no data is rturned)

They need to be listed

colTitle colTitle
01/01/2006 <06/30/2006
01/01/2006 06/30/2006

then give the full 6 cells as the criteria range -- viola then it worked

Again thanks for your direction

I recorded a macro that gave me this code

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D5:X306").AdvancedFilter
Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CriteriaRange:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("L5:L306"),
CopyToRange:=Range("D5") _
, Unique:=False

the criteria I would like to set is based on colomn 9 (which equates to
L5:L306 and it will probably vary with each run) of the affected range
it
is a date field, I would like to restrict the the dates to a set a range
such =01/01/2006 and <= 06/30/2006.

How do I set up the criteria range?

What would I need to do to make this work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
