Activate macro in another book

[Steve Wallis]

Hi,

This is very much a work in progress and I'm sure my level of expertise will
be readily apparent.

Two problems occur. First when I copy to the 2nd workbook, the column width
is different (hence the "Autofit"). Secondly when I do my first group of
filters in book 2, it shows the correct rows, but hides all other rows down
to 65,450. I could live with that, but I want to do further sets of filters
and I run out of rows.

Any help gratefully received.

Sub CopyTodays()

'This Sets Autofilter to select todays entries only from book 1, then copies
to book 2,then filters that data(3 different ways)and copies to another
sheet in book 2


Sheets("All").Select
Selection.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=Date
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open "C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My
Documents\Folder1\Folder2\Book2.xls"
Sheets("All").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Cells.Select
Selection.AutoFilter field:=6, Criteria1:=">=40", Operator:=xlAnd
Selection.AutoFilter field:=9, Criteria1:="<14", Operator:=xlAnd
Selection.AutoFilter field:=15, Criteria1:="1"
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Test list").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets("All").Select
-More Filters.......
End Sub

Hi Steve

You can use Paste special to also copy the column width
See the example here

I not understand the second question

Thanks for the answer Ron

In regard to the second Question, I may copy, say, 30 rows from book 1 to
book 2, then apply the filter in book 2. Normally you would see rows that I
filtered by, with other rows hidden, then see rows from 31 on visible. In
this case, it filters the data rows correctly, but hides rows 31 - 65,449.
65,450 is the next visible row after the filtered data.

Hope this clarifies. I will appreciate any help.
