overflow-how big a file can Excel handle?
When trying to run a vb script, I got an error message saying
overflow. The file is about 4 Mb with about 35900 rows and 6 columns. I had to cut half of the rows and pasted them to a new file. Then, the script ran without problems. It seems to me that Excel hit a limit on the file size, row number or something. I wonder if the problem is due to my computer or Excel. Anyone has any idea? |

"overflow" is generally more a variable than a memory problem. e.g. using an integer to loop thru ranges... will error out at 32k (the maximum positive value of an integer. change variable to a long should fix it. -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam John Smith wrote : When trying to run a vb script, I got an error message saying overflow.
