Ron - thanks for your help --
it runs perfectly---but when I tried to step out on my own a bit and create
up to 8 criteria I am messing up somewhere---
in the line--
rng.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=Netherlands", Operator:=xlOr,
Criteria2:="=USA"
how would I add a third crtieria, etc? I tried the following:
rng.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=Netherlands", Operator:=xlOr,
Criteria2:="=USA", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria3:="=FRANCE" , Operator:=xlOr,
Criteria4:="=Germany"
but keep getting an error on the third Criteria---
Thanks
