Help requiered

I posted this request in Misc category but I received no answer...

I want to filter data in an Excel Worksheet using the automatic filter. I tried to use the [_FilterDataBase] hidden object. It works, but the following error occur regularly at the line where [_FilterDataBase] is used : error 424.

Can you help me, I didn't find sufficient documentation to resolve this problem...

Thanks.


Before running that program, I apply a filter on the worksheet.



Sub MyFilter()
Dim CurrentWorksheet as Excel.Worksheet
Dim XlApp as Excel.Application
Dim Fic

strExcelPath = "c:\temp"
strExcelFile = "class1.xls"
strOutptPath = "c:\temp"
strOutptFile = "test.dat"


set XlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XlApp.Visible = true
XlApp.Workbooks.Open (strExcelPath & "\" & strExcelFile)
XlApp.Workbooks(strExcelFile).Worksheets(mid(strExcelFile, 1, len(strExcelFile) - 4)).Activate
set CurrentWorksheet = XlApp.Windows(1).ActiveSheet
Fic = FreeFile()
Open strOutptPath & "\" & strOutptFile for Output as #Fic
CurrentWorksheet.Activate
[_FilterDataBase].SpecialCells(xlVisible).Select
areaCount = Selection.Areas.Count


'1st line of excel Worksheet contains titles : Data start at 2nd line
for i = 1 to areaCount
set Range1 = Selection.Areas(i)
FirstCol = Range1.Column
FirstLine = Range1.Row
LastCol = FirstCol + Range1.Columns.Count - 1
LastLine = FirstLine + Range1.Rows.Count - 1
StartLine = 1
If i = 1 And FirstLine = 1 then
If LastLine = 1 then
GoTo eti
End If
StartLine = 2
End If
for j = StartLine to LastLine - FirstLine + 1
print #Fic, Range1(j, 2).Value
next j
eti:
next i
Close #Fic
XlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
XlApp.Application.Quit
set XlApp = nothing
End Sub
