Default Maximum Columns in Worksheet

Toppers;

Thanks for Responding.

I tried this little code, I got the error Message:

Sub or Function not defined.

Dim ReqColumn as String
Dim ColumnNo as Long

ReqColumn = Input("Give Me the Column")
ColumnNo = Column(ReqColumn) Error
ColumnNo = DD1 Error
ColumnNo = Column(DD) Error
ColumnNo = Column(DD,1) Error

I get the same error message on all five?

Also there is a "C" programmer that changed Excel in 1998 to expand to 384
columns. I do not know him, but I have seen the spreadsheet so I know it
worked. I know he made a lot of changes that I am not going to attempt!

Thanks Again

You will need Excel 2007 for more than 256 columns (the limit until this
release)

=Column(HP1) will return column number

The testing department wants me to assist them in a large project that should
be written in "C". However I will give it a shot!

They want a Worksheet that is going to require 426 to 434 Columns. First
Question: Is that possible?

Second Question (This might be an Excel Programming Question?) When the tell
me something is in Column HP, how can I confert that to the Field (Column)
Number?

Thanks for Assistance
