Question 1:
How would I modify the formula below to include other dates? I
tried the following but get an #VALUE! error:
=IF(TEXT(C8,"MMDD")=OR("1031","0115","0417"),"text ","")
My original formula works, but is only for 1 day:
=IF(TEXT(C8,"MMDD")="1031","text","")

Question 2:
I know that Excel 2000 disables the autofilter function when
the worksheet is protected and hence copied and modified a macro into
"ThisWorkbook" that would fix this. However, I also just read that the
sorting function is also disabled in Excel 2000. So my question is...how
would I modify my existing macro (or add a new macro) to also allow me to
sort? Here is the macro that I have in "ThisWorkbook":

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'check for filter, turn on if none exists
With Worksheets("Worksheet")
If Not .AutoFilterMode Then
..Range("A1").AutoFilter
End If
..EnableAutoFilter = True
..Protect Password:="temp", _
Contents:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End With
End Sub
