Default Limit to field size with .CopyFromRecordset

I'm running Excel 2003, trying to retrieve a record set from a stored
procedure in a SQLServer 2000 database. I used to use 'TransposeDim', which
worked great, but I've run into a problem. I've got some data base fields
that are somewhere between 750 - 1000 characters long, and I can't get them
retrieved into my spread sheet. I thought it was a limitation of
TransposeDim, but I have the same problem using CopyFromRecordset. If the
record set has, say, 100 rows, and in row 23 is a field with a large number
of characters, it just displays the first 22 characters, and gives me an
error. The value of err.description is "Object required"

Is there a size limitation here? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!
