Thanks for the advice but my problem is not the capacity of the spreadsheet,
but the number of usable cells. While there is a theoretical maximum of
65536 rows x 256 columns (16,777,216 cells) I can only seem to be able to use
about 67,010 as a maximum (Excel 2003 does not allow any other cells to be
populated after that).

If you've got any advice I would really appreciate it (I'm investigating an
SQL DB so this problem is probably only going to be short-term [up to six
months]).

I use Excel extensively for performance analysis and have a fairly complex
integration of different spreadsheets in different workbooks. I have found
that there is a physical limitation to the number of cells that I can use in
any one spreadsheet (seems to be about 67,010). Does anyone know how this
limitation can either be removed or increased?
