hi.
not really. as i said, you're on ground where i have never been.
question. why are you dumping that much data into a single cell. seems to me
in that lay the problem. I don't think i could manage data that way. I would
seriously consider a better way of bringing it in.
the info i posted is from excel help xp2003. copy and paste.
sorry i could not be more help.

Even in the formula bar the entire text is not displayed. I know
there is no problem with the data dump itself because when I try to
type more characters in the formula bar I get an error saying that the
formula is too long. Any ideas?
