Have you tried making the argument for the sql string be a reference to
multiple cells (continuous block) and broken up your sql string so that each
part is less than 155 characters.

I haven't tested this, but it seems to me it does work.

The SQL.Request external function in Excel 2003 has an SQL string too
short.
I need to execute the SQL.Request with SQL strings larger than 512 or
more.

Is there a way to do it?
How can I do it?
