How can I get excel to accept larger workbooks
 

I am currently using Quatro-Pro to create workbooks. It will accept at least
500 worksheets per workbook. Since Excel is set to 256 worksheets per
workbook, I can't transfer my current work to Excel. How can I increase the
size of Excel workbooks?

There is no limit on worksheets in a workbook The only limit is available
memory...

If you run this code it will happily create 300 worksheets

Sub test()
Dim lng As Long
For lng = 1 To 300
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
Next lng
End Sub

To find out about memory limits check out this link...

Excel is not set to 256 sheets per workbook.

255 sheets is the upper limit for number of default sheets in a new
workbook.

You can add more once the workbook is opened.

Limit above 255 depends upon the resources available to you.
