xl2003 only has 65536 rows per worksheet.

You could use your favorite text editor and split the data into smaller pieces
and then import each of the smaller pieces into separate worksheets.

Probably not what you want, huh?

I think the best way is to load your data in Access, then slipt your data in
2 with queries to load them back in Excel after.

Hope it will help.

Can you split the text file into 2 files, and then import each of those as a
seperate sheet into XL?

I would first import them to a ACCESS table and then export from ACCESS to
Execel.
