Cannot check autofilter - Grey'd out
I am working on a large spread sheet, 450 rows x 26
columns, and I want to use the autofilter option to sort items in the list however, the autofilter box is checked, but grey'd out so I cannot access the option. This sheet is part of 5 sheets in this database. If I copy the sheet I am trying to autofilter into a new spread sheet, the autofilter option is accessible. What am I missing that it does not work in the application. This was tax data from a previous year and was compiled using the autofilter option when it was created. Thanks for your help |

Your worksheet is protected. Use the Tools--Protection--Unprotect Sheet
command. Hope you the password if it prompts you for one. _______________________ Robert Rosenberg R-COR Consulting Services Microsoft MVP - Excel wrote in message ...
