Auto Filter does not work with embedded objects
Hi,
I have a file with about 40 rows. Almost every row has an embedded pdf file. I used INSERT OBJECT from the menu to add these objects. They are not links. They are actual objects. I also have an autofilter in place. The problem is that sometimes when I filter, the corresponding relevant object to a specific row is not correct. For instance, if... Object A goes with row 1 Ojbect B goes with row 2 Object C goes with row 3 Object D goes with row 4 when I filter on Column C, Object A may be get associated with data from row 2 instead of data from row 1. I thought it was b/c I had some rows without objects so I inserted dummy objects and it may fix the problem for this instance but then if I filter on Column D, say Object D shows up with row 3 data. I don't understand these inconsistencies...why an object doesn't stay bound to a row. For most of the rows, it does but then some don't. It is imperative that upon filtering, that all objects stay associated with their corresponding data for that particular row. I can send you the file and have you filter on particular values from the drop down list so you can see what I mean. I can't believe that no one else has had this problem. Plz help! S |

This may not work with your objects, but it can't hurt too much to try. Rightclick on each of the objects. (If that doesn't work, then View|Control toolbox and click the design mode icon) Format Object|Properties|Move and size with cells And make sure that each object is contained in a single cell (or a single row). wrote: Hi, I have a file with about 40 rows.
