footer character limit issue in Excel
Tried your suggestion. The result is the last character of the Proprietary2 string is truncated.

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
