Default Error: Too many cell formats

I suspect that the problm is caused by a memory limitation. Try saving the workbook after doing each copy and paste.

Howdy All,

I'm receiving an error when i am copying sheets into a workbook.
What happens is, we have around 200 workbooks each containing one sheet.
This sheet contains a small amount of data. The only formatting on the sheet is font, font size, and borders.
The macro i have, copies via paste-specialvalues the contents of each workbook to a new sheet , in one central workbook.
I have also tried just copying the sheet itself.
However after copying a around 20/30 sheets it errors out saying "Too many cell formats".

I'm getting frustrated as i've seen other workbooks, with hundreds of pages with formatting galor, that easily outnumbers the megar formatting i have in my workbooks.

Does anyone know of a way around this problem?

Thanks and cheers.

AL
