So I'm trying to record a macro that refreshes data from an Access database,
filters the table to get unique values, then copy/pastes to another sheet to
use those values as column headings (i.e., I'm doing a "Paste
Special"--"Transpose" to make the vertically-listed values paste
horizontally). Only problem is that the macro isn't working completely. The
values refresh goes through and the table updates, but the filtered values
don't copy/paste to the new sheet. If I go through the process manually, it
works, but otherwise I can't get the macro to cooperate.

Post your code...

Here's the macro code:

Sub macUpdate()
'
' macUpdate Macro
'

'
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Selection.ClearContents
Sheets("Data").Select
Range("Z4").Select
Range("Table_Query_from_MS_Access_Database_4[[#All],[Station]]"). _
AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, Unique:=True
Range("Z4:Z14").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Scorecard").Select
Range("B7").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Range("A7").Select
End Sub

I have no experience with Access but a brief look suggests that it should
work. Try this two liner instead. NO selections. You should use the same
idea to remove selections from the first part

Thanks for the suggestion in cleaning up the query - I'll have to do this.

I think I figured out what the problem was and I still haven't gotten it to
work right.

It appears to be doing the processes out of order - it filters and
copy/pastes the column titles either before or during the refresh, because I
noticed that the data the macro returns is valid...just for the entry prior
to the refresh.

Is there a break command or something that will force the macro to wait until
the refresh completes?
