Message: [QUOTE="Dave Peterson, post: 12997931"] This is from "Excel 2002 VBA Programmer's Reference" Written by John Green, Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey and Robert Rosenberg [URL]http://www.oaltd.co.uk:80/ExcelProgRef/Ch22/ProgRefCh22.htm[/URL] Search for "Range.AutoFilter" and you'll see this note: Range.AutoFilter The AutoFilter method of a Range object is a very curious beast. We are forced to pass it strings for its filter criteria and hence must be aware of its string handling behaviour. The criteria string consists of an operator (=, >, <, >= etc.) followed by a value. If no operator is specified, the "=" operator is assumed. The key issue is that when using the "=" operator, AutoFilter performs a textual match, while using any other operator results in a match by value. This gives us problems when trying to locate exact matches for dates and numbers. If we use "=", Excel matches on the text that is displayed in the cell, i.e. the formatted number. As the text displayed in a cell will change with different regional settings and Windows language version, it is impossible for us to create a criteria string that will locate an exact match in all locales. There is a workaround for this problem. When using any of the other filter criteria, Excel plays by the rules and interprets the criteria string according to US formats. Hence, a search criterion of ">=02/01/2001" will find all dates on or after 1st Feb, 2001, in all locales. We can use this to match an exact date by using two AutoFilter criteria. The following code will give an exact match on 1st Feb, 2001 and will work in any locale: Range("A1:D200").AutoFilter 2, ">=02/01/2001", xlAnd, "<=02/01/2001" ============ So in your case: ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$S$277").AutoFilter Field:=1, _ Criteria1:=">=" & format(StartDate,"mm/dd/yyyy"), _ Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:="<=" & format(EndDate,"mm/dd/yyyy") [/QUOTE]
