Run-time error '1004' ; AutoFilter Method of Range class failed

**ESMAMAF** · 11-18-2012, 07:27 AM

Hello,
I need your help.
I have a macro that has been running daily for several years.
Among the executed instructions, that should do it several times:

In the 5th execution, the compiler stops always at the command Selection.AutoFilter and show the message "Run-time error '1004 '; AutoFilter Method of Range class failed"
After that, I do a reset of the macro:
1. - On the sheet, the arrow has disappeared (Dropdown) and you can enable / disable the autofilter
2. - Restart: fails on first run

Finally, I have no solution to work with the latest backup, regenerating new version.
What is the problem?
Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome to the forum,
What is AÑOX?

Tanks you
I apologize the lack of translation
"AÑOX" is an integer variable which means the current year (=YEAR(now())
Best regards

I just wanted to make sure it was a variable.

Do you get the error if you set autofiltermode=false before you run autofilter?

Thanks for your proposal, davesexcel

I've tried your suggestion; unfortunately, the code stopped again elsewhere
I remember that this macro has worked for many years, every day.
Now, in each execution of the Sub, it must run 25 times for the part of the code showed: fails to 5th.
Now, when failure occurs:
1.-Arrows autofilter disappear, in sheet "ENTRADA1"
2.-In this sheet, the AutoFilter does not work manually
3.- The macro recorder does not work.
I test other changes: Before running this piece of code, I delete, add and move the worksheet "ENTRADA1" to a new workbook. I executed successfully this part of the code. However, the code fails to update a graph
When I recover the last good backup and regenerate a new book, it works fine for 15 days
My conclusion: The book is corrupted after 15 days and it’s not possible regenerate. How I can avoid this corruption?
Best regards
