I don't beleive the problem is in my RTD server. To
reproduce my problem
1) take one of the RTD server projects you mentioned (I
used the V++ one)
2) Modify the RefreshData method to return a long string
(I returned a string of 12000 'x' characters)
3) reference that data via a the RTD function in a single
cell of a workbook.
4) after the data has come back in the RTD cell try to
save the workbook - this should reproduce my problem.

Hi Ken,

So far as I know on this issue, you may need to write one
COM server for receiving RTD data. There is one kb article
introducing this which needs the
Office XP and later. Please go to:
