I tried to save as an xlsx file but when I opened it up it still had 65356
rows. I then changed the file format in the Excel Options to xlsx and then
closed and reopened Excel. I then started over by re-importing the original
file. I guess once you open Excel, it does not care if you change the
extension when you save it. Regardless, i was able to get all my rows. Thanks
Roger for putting me on the right track!!

Hi Sean

it sounds as though you started from an xls file, which would have been
loaded in compatibility mode.
Save the file as an xlsx 2007 fileCloseRe-open
and you should be able to access all 1 million+rows

I can only get 65,356 rows when I link Excel to an external data source. I
am
using an ODBC driver to link to an IBM i-series database (AS400). The
database has 167,000+ rows. I thought Excel 2007 had a row limit of 1mil+.
Is
there different limit for linked tables?
