Default Macro to move to next column

I have a macro that is used to pull data from a data collection device
(winwedge). It is pulling three fields. It is a huge amount of data that
will fill all 65536 rows within an hour. I would like to make it jump to the
next set of columns when it reaches this point. Any help is greatly
appriciated.
Thanks,
Bradley

Bradley,

You would get better answers if you post your code....

Anyway, you could use something like

If lngRow = 65000 Then
CurCol = CurCol + 3
lngRow = 1
End If

somewhere within your code.

Default Macro to move to next column

Here is the code. I did not write this, it came from the manufacturer. I
know very little about what I'm looking at and am trying to learn. I did try
putting what you gave me in and it didn not work. I am assuming that I made
a mistake somewhere?

Sub GetSWData()
Static RowPointer As Long
RowPointer = RowPointer + 1
Chan = DDEInitiate("WinWedge", "Com1")
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(1)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer, 1).Formula = WedgeData$
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(2)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer, 2).Formula = WedgeData$
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(3)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer, 3).Formula = WedgeData$
DDETerminate Chan

End Sub

Thanks,
Bradley

Bradley,

Try the version below. It will move to the next columns after 65000 rows. I used the RowPointer and
some math to select the column and row to write to...

Sub GetSWData2()
'Modified by Bernie Deitrick to wrap columns
Static RowPointer As Long
Const ROWCOUNT As Long = 65000

Chan = DDEInitiate("WinWedge", "Com1")
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(1)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer Mod ROWCOUNT + 1, _
(RowPointer \ ROWCOUNT) * 3 + 1).Formula = WedgeData$
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(2)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer Mod ROWCOUNT + 1, _
(RowPointer \ ROWCOUNT) * 3 + 2).Formula = WedgeData$
F1 = DDERequest(Chan, "Field(3)")
WedgeData$ = F1(1)
Sheets("sheet1").Cells(RowPointer Mod ROWCOUNT + 1, _
(RowPointer \ ROWCOUNT) * 3 + 3).Formula = WedgeData$
DDETerminate Chan

RowPointer = RowPointer + 1

End Sub
