If you only need to achieve what you describe - i.e., to get rid of
all the rows <=08/03/2004 in B then i don't think you need to use
filter.
If getting rid of the rows is the only purpose then you wouldn't need
a macro for that to begin with - you could just sort by column B and
delete manually all that you don't want to retain. (you can use a
helper sort column to revert to the initial sort order if needs be).
On the other hand, if you MUST use a macro this might be the way:

Sub DeleteMyRows()

* * Dim MaxDate As Date
* * Dim ndxR As Long
* * MaxDate = #8/3/2004#' Your max date here (hardcoded)

* * For ndxR = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
* * * * With Cells(ndxR, "B")
* * * * * * If .Value <= MaxDate Then .EntireRow.Delete
* * * * End With
* * Next ndxR

End Sub

Dear All,

I would like to automate the code below:
Sub Macro2()
* * Rows("1:1").Select
* * Selection.AutoFilter
* * Selection.AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1:="<=08/03/2004",
Operator:=xlAnd
* * Rows("12:12").Select
* * Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
* * Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
* * Selection.AutoFilter Field:=3
End Sub

The problem is that when I use the editor to record the macro, the
range is fixed because I click the cell to autofil. I will have varing
amount of rows and hence the need to automate a code to recognise
this.

Below is a sample of what I am trying to do and the data.

(1) * Insert Autofilter in header row 1
(2) * Column B custom to less than or equal to 08/03/2004
(3) * Delete entire result with variable autofil of rows upto
08/03/2004
(4) * View remaining data over 08/03/2004
(5) * Remove Autofilter

Invoice * * * * Invoice Date * *Date Paid * * * * * * * * * * *Amount
PKR41 * 03/11/2003 * * *08/06/2004 * * *1222.81

AB,

That works perfectly.

I needed it coded as it is part of an automated process.

Thank you for your assistance
