Hi Donna, With this sort of thing I usually rebuild the sheet bit by bit in a new workbook until I hit the glitch. Copy the data column by column trying the filter after each column. If it doesn't work with the first column copy that column bits at a time... like.. the topmost cell, then the next 10 and so on while checking that the filter still works.

Any other suggestions? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
