The extract below is unable to run when the criteria for the
Autofilter results in the number of rows being in excess of around
15800.


Selection.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="="
Range("A2").Select
Range(Selection, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete

Even when attempted manually, the "delete rows" function will not work
on a filter and deletes ALL data (both hidden and otherwise). Hence my
subject, the macro won't delete only rows for filtered results where
the filter produces too many rows.

I hope I've made myself understood.
Is there a workaround? Cheers
