FilterDatabase file error

Hi All,

I have set up a file to combine tabs for the months when they are added.  Every time a new month is added though it seems to be creating a 'FilterDatabase' file that is causing issues with the applied steps to the files.  Is there a way I can stopp it from uploading this? There is no tab of this name in the master file?

Just filter it out this way and it will create the code which filters out every "_xlnm._FilterDatabase" rows

And an amended 'FilterDatabase' file appears every month the file is updated

I tried that last month but it seems to also filter out any future months that are added?
