I was getting the same problem. Check your variable declarations carry the
correct types. E.g. Byte 0-255, Integer -32,768 to 32,767, Single, Double
etc.

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
