I have written a macro that runs an autofilter which grabs cell info from a
different worksheet within that workbook (an entered date). It then uses that
date to autofilter. It works fine the first time, but aparently plugs that
info permanently into the macro and will not work on subsequent runs. I need
a macro that will grab variable info from a certain cell each time and run
with that new cell value each time. Any ideas?. (& yes, I am a newbee)
sorry..

Your problem is refreshing the autofilter. It is best to clear the old
filter before applying the new filter. Here is an example:

Sub puralator()
Dim s As String
s = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=s
End Sub

Maybe use ActiveCell.value instead of Range("A1").value as filter criterion
but hard to say without seeing your code.
