Inserting a Visible Autofiltered Row into Another Sheet (Excluding Header)

I am trying to AutoFilter (in column A of SHEET 1) the Active Cell in SHEET 2. Then I have an IF Statement that counts the number of Visible Rows, and if it is more than 1 (to exclude the header) then I would like to insert a new row into SHEET 3 and cut and paste the values of the Auto filtered Row in SHEET 1 into the new row in SHEET 3.

Then I clear the Auto Filter in SHEET 1, and insert a new row into SHEET 1 and cut and paste the values of the Active Cell's Row from SHEET 2 into the new row in SHEET 1. IF there are no results from the Auto Filter in SHEET 1, then the ELSE STATEMENT clears the Auto Filter in SHEET 1, inserts a new row into SHEET 1 and cut and pastes the values of the Active Cell's Row from SHEET 2 into the new row in SHEET 1.

Currently, I can't seem to get my code to work if the Auto Filter results in SHEET 2 are in any rows > Row 2. Here is my current code, I have commented to help with navigation:

VBA Code: 
Sub Autofilter_Macro()

Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim sh3 As Worksheet

Set sh1 = Sheet1
Set sh2 = Sheet2
Set sh3 = Sheet3

Dim rng As Range
Dim AC As Integer
AC = ActiveCell.Row

sh1.AutoFilterMode = False 'Clears any AutoFilters from Sheet1

sh1.Range("A:A").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=ActiveCell.Value 'AutoFilters SHEET 1 column "A" based off the ActiveCell Row in SHEET 2

Set rng = sh1.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) 'Sets rng to visible cells

    If (rng.Rows.Count > 1) Then 'Counts the # of visible rows

        sh3.Rows("2:2").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightOrBelow 'Inserts an empty row (with the same format as the one below it) into row 2 of SHEET 3

        sh3.Range("A2:CK2").Value = rng.Offset(rowOffSet:=1).Value 'Sets the new empty row's values in SHEET 3 = the values of the Autofiltered row in SHEET 1

        sh1.ShowallData 'Clears any Autofilters from SHEET 1

        sh1.Rows("2:2").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightOrBelow 'Inserts an empty row (with the same format as the one below it) into row 2 of SHEET 1

        sh1.Range("A2:CK2").Value = sh2.Range(Cells(AC, 1), Cells(AC, 89)).Value 'Sets the new empty row's values in SHEET 1 = the values of the ActiveCell row in SHEET 2

        MsgBox "Replaced Main Database" 'MsgBox indicating what has executed

    Else

        sh1.Rows("2:2").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightOrBelow 'Inserts an empty row (with the same format as the one below it) into row 2 of SHEET 1

        sh1.Range("A2:CK2").Value = sh2.Range(Cells(AC, 1), Cells(AC, 89)).Value 'Sets the new empty row's values in SHEET 1 = the values of the ActiveCell row in SHEET 2
         MsgBox "New Entry into Main Database"

    End If

sh1.ShowallData 'Clears any Auotfilters from SHEET 1

End Sub

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Sort by date Sort by votes
You are not getting an accurate count of visible rows with the code you have. It will always return 1 because that is what the SpecialCellsVisible returns. But if you only use one column for your rng variable and count it, then it gives the correct number of rows.

Code: 
Set rng = Intersect(sh1.Columns(1), sh1.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)) 'Sets rng to visible cells

    If (rng.Count > 1) Then 'Counts the # of visible rows

Since your rng.Count will give you the number of rows, you can then use Resize with your Insert statement to insert the total number of rows you want to copy.
Code: 
sh3.Rows("2:2").Resize(rng.Count).Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightOrBelow 'Inserts an empty row (with the same format as the one below it) into row 2 of SHEET 3
that should then accomodate the entire visible range, but now you have to
Code: 
rng.EntireRow.Copy

ChangeThis:
Code: 
sh3.Range("A2:CK2").Value = rng.Offset(rowOffSet:=1).Value 'Sets the new empty row's values in SHEET 3 = the values of the Autofiltered row in SHEET 1
To this:
Code: 
rng.Offset(1).Resize((, UsedRange.Colums.Count).Copy sh3.Range("A2")
Instead of the rng.EntireRow.Copy.

Hello @JLGWhiz , I keep receiving a Syntax error with
VBA Code: 
rng.Offset(1).Resize((, UsedRange.Colums.Count).Copy sh3.Range("A2")

Let's do it slightly different. First declare a variable, then intitiate it, then use it for the resize.
Code: 
Dim colcnt As Long
colcnt = sh1.UsedRange.Columns.Count
rng.Offset(1).Resize(, colcnt).Copy sh3.Range("A2")

I have commented out the lines of Code that I have replaced based on your suggestions, and the code seems to be inserting two blank rows into "Sheet 3 (sh3)" and gives me a Run-Time Error '1004' (
Application-defined or object-defined error) on the line
Code: 
rng.Offset(1).Resize(, colcnt).Copy sh3.Range("A2")


The following is the code that I have so far based off your suggestions:
