    *variable* in .AutoFilter Criteria

    Hi,

    I have the following problem:
    I am using .AutoFilter in my code and the Criteria1 is taken from the UserForm, so it is given as a variable. I would like to modify the code to make it bulletproof. Now the code is like:
    Criteria1:=A
    , where A is a variable. I would like to create something like:
    Criteria1:=*A*
    , where A is still a variable. Since I can't use
    "=*A*"
    , what are my options here?

    Cheers,
    L.

    Not working. Everything after "*" is ignored.

    I think I've solved it.
    A = "*" + A + "*"
    , now I'm checking if it may cause any problems to the user.

    strange. i always use this bit of code to autofilter having no problems.

    concatenation operator in VBA is &
    + also works but use &

    A = "*" & A & "*" / Criteria1:=A is no different than Criteria1:="*" & A & "*"
