Default Maximum file size

OBT

One function that can affect Excel's speed is the number of files in your Temp
and TIF folders. Clean these out regularly. Temp folders should be cleaned
out only after a re-boot.

Max file size is limited by memory and resources according to Excel Help on
"specifications"(no quotes).

Some good reading can be found at David McRitchie's site....

Also at Charles Williams' site...
