This may illustrate loyso's problem:


Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range
Set myCell = ActiveSheet.Range("a1")
myCell.Formula = "=rept(""asdf "",500)"
With myCell
Debug.Print "Value length: " & Len(myCell.Value)
Debug.Print "Text Length: " & Len(myCell.Text)
End With
End Sub

Returned:

Value length: 2500
Text Length: 1024

Is the cell a formula beginning with =. If so you can neither Read nor Write
a formula with length 1024 including the "=".

Otherwise, as I said previously a cell can contain text up to the 32K
character length limit, as my example routine demonstrated.

No! The problem isn't msgbox-related!
I see in integrated excel debugger that Len function returns 1024 for my
cell with 4k of text!

For Each ws In Worksheets
MsgBox Len(ws.Cells(1, 1).Text)
Next ws

Also displayes 1024 in message box.

Somebody - help me, please! :)
