There is no 'logical' reason why you can only use some of the cells in the
smaller grid. (The larger one is a different matter) unless you have a very
small amount of memory.

What error are you getting?

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]).

this
limitation can either be removed or increased?
