oversize spreadsheet should spill over into multiple pages
 

Currently in excel 2000, when we try to export a file (from Quickbooks) that
excedes tht limits for a single worksheet, no option exists to let the file
overflow into additional pages in a workbook. This would be a great
improvement.

Sorry about that

Should be:

Importing a large file into Excel. File MAY have more than 65,000 records
and will automatically start a new sheet.

I am sure this would work if I understood more. Unfortunately I am not
importing into excel but starting within Quickbooks and Exporting to ecel
which doesn/t seem ot offer the flexibiltiy that I need to get this done.

In addition this is such a simple and natural concept that instead of a cold
"Sorry, your file is too large" Microsoft could offer, " Would you like the
file to automatically overflow into additional worksheets in this workbook?"
and finish the job.

Export to Wordpad or similar as *.txt file then open that in Excel using the
code Niek provided.

OR......wait for Excel 2007 which has one million rows and 16384 columns.
