I am running Excel v14 in MS Office 2010. I have a routine that puts a two line disclaimer into the footer of each tab in the workbook. The routine also inserts the date in the right hand side of the footer.

If I put the disclaimer and date in manually, no issues. If I insert the same disclaimer via code, the second line of the disclaimer truncates the last six characters of the string. If I leave the date out of the code, it works perfectly.

The disclaimer does not bust the 255 character limit. The first line is 43 characters; the second is 68.

So, I need to have both the disclaimer and date correctly inserted.

Any suggestions?

here's the code:

*********

Const Proprietary1 = "&8This string length is exactly 43 characters"
Const Proprietary2 = "The second line string length is much longer at 68 text characters--"



With ActiveSheet.PageSetup

.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = Proprietary & Chr(13) & Export
.RightFooter = Date

end with
