I have been told a cell can hold 32k, but I have never tried to push it to
that limit. Perhaps if you posted the code that does the transfer we can
find where the break-down is. Normally Excel imports from a database with 1
field entry per cell, not all in 1 cell.

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there's a limit to the size of data that you can
insert into an excel cell using VB6 automation? I'm transferring data into
a
worksheet but whenever the data is more than about 1000 bytes I get an
automation error 1004 "Application-defined or object-defined error"... but
if I manually paste the same data into the cell, there's no problem.

The data is coming straight from an access 97 database.

Any ideas?

TIA
Martin
