Hi April....I got this question from you about four times...twice here and twice privately...LOL I replied to you privately...but I'll copy it here so the rest of the group can see what I said and add any other comments since I'm really busy here and don't want to leave you hanging: __________________________ Don't copy it to a new sheet....copy it to the same sheet, in a different location....don't copy it in place cuz it leaves the extra ones there, that's why you still have 10,273 And I can't imagine why you thought it came from Vic...since my signature is on it (not to mention the fact that Vic doesn't know anything about Excel...LOL) Take care.

I don't know if this came from Vic or Linda, that is why I cc you both... I have an excel list of name and addresses... 10,273 to be exact... when I tried this it tells me that it filtered it down to 9919, but it is showing all 10,273 names.... When I try to get it to copy to a new sheet it wont do it... can anybody please help me????
