Has anyone experienced any limitations on the number of worksheets? I am trying to answer this question prior to coding a workbook with the possibility of over 200 worksheets. Thanks, Nicole Nicole, You are creating a monster. I can almost guarantee that your WB will be EXTREMELY large, EXTREMELY slow to calculate, as well as prone to corruption and causing excel to crash. I would recommend you store all of your data in access or another database and program excel to pull out the data the data that actually needs to be looked at. surely your users aren't going to review all 200 sheets. Generally speaking, i've found that if your spreadsheet is greater than 3-5 MB in size, you should be working with a database.... Hope this helps AR |
