Default # of worksheets limited by memory

Nicole,
In addition to Jim's advice, you are aware that Excel's security can be
overridden in a matter of seconds.
If you need to keep jealous, rival managers from seeing each others figures,
Excel is probably not the correct solution.
Or arrange it such a way the each file only data for a single manger.

Or use a DB for the data and only use Excel for the reporting.

Good question. I am automating the creation of reports spaning three
worksheet per manager. One worksheet houses definitions and will be
pulled
from elsewhere. The first two worksheets will include sensitive
information
for their eyes only and hence needs to be separated from other manager's
information. Also, we need to keep these records for a year-and-a-half.
There are over two hundred managers, but depending on the information not
all
managers will receive a report; I am guesstamating that there will be at
least 200 sheets.

Thanks,
Nicole

Only bounded by memeory. Will your workbook crash with 200+ worksheets.
Depends how much stuff is on them. Here is a link to memory limits in
Excel.

My question to you would be what are you trying to do that is going to
require 200 worksheets? With that many sheets will the spreadsheet be
usable?

Hello fellow helpers,

When I query Excel help as to the limit of worksheets in a workbook I
get
the somewhat cryptic message that worksheets are limited by available
memory.
Has anyone experienced any limitations on the number of worksheets? I
am
trying to answer this question prior to coding a workbook with the
possibility of over 200 worksheets.

Thanks,
Nicole
