Could any one please let me know the maximum number of sheets we can have in
the one excel file. Thanks in advance.

It will depend on your computers memory. I know someone who tried and said
the computer crashed at around 3000. But those were with no data on them.
(that is hearsay - I didnt witness it) (I believe it used to be limited to
255)

255 at ToolsOptionsGeneralSheets in a new workbook.

I took a look. 255 the maximum # of default of sheets that a workbook can
start with. It is not the limit to number of sheets a workbook can contain.
The limit is only by memory. I had no problem adding 1000 but it was
starting to slow down the copying process (my computer is a few years old).
I couldnt imagine needing much more than that anyway.

Thanks everyone,

Great!!!

It was pretty useful for me as i was supposed to split my files in two excel
file. Now I can continue with existing one.

Still i i'm having one doubt. Whether i can add 255 sheets in excel file as
my system runs on 512 MB RAM.

Thanks,
raju
