This may not be the thread to ask this, but....

Quick question. Does anyone know if Excel 2003 has more columns than the
256
in older versions? I thought I read somewhere that it did.

I Import a company database into Excel frequently and Excel won't let me
do
it because it says it doesn't have enough columns.

Thanks in advance.
