For the benefit of novices who might stumble on this thread, VBA does NOT
have a string length limit of 255.

In Excel there are string length limitations ranging from 255 to 32K
depending on what you are using or doing. These limits are not directly
related to VBA.

Not sure what the limit is in VBA, several million at least (for what
purpose) and possibly only limited by resources.
