I'm trying to create a type of triple filter. I love the Ron de Bruin code:
(http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy5.htm#AutoFilter)

I had the code working fine, for finding one single criteria in one column.
Now I am wondering if I can apply this filtering technique three times as the
names I am searching for can appear in Column F, Column K, and Column P. The
names wont appear in all three places on the same row, but, just for
example, one name may appear in Column F, rows(1:20), then appear in Column
K, rows(100:130), and may appear again in Column P, rows (220:250). Is it
possible to get the macro to somehow loop, and find all three occurrences of
a single names in three column, and then copy paste into a single file in a
folder? I think I could do this pretty easily with an Access Query, but I
dont have Access installed on my computer. :(

Please let me know if it can be done. The code that I have now is listed
below:

Sub Copy_To_Workbooks()
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim WSNew As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range

Resolved!! Not elegant, but I just run the macro three times,
copying/pasting the next results under the prior results, each time. The
three columns come from an InputBox:

'Set filter range : A1 is the top left cell of your filter range and
'the header of the first column, D is the last column in the filter range

'Set Field number of the filter column
