Excel gone out of memory
System: WinXP Home; Excel 2000 pro
I'm using a vba macro to import ascii code from files into a xls sheet. The macro works good, but if more data is imported the excel gets out of memory. I'm not over the 65536 rows and 255 coloums (i make new sheets before this happens). my question is: is it possible to save data on a sheet, and get the information on that sheet out of the system memory? |

Excel gone out of memory
Here is a link to an excellent resource on Memory Limits in Excel. Perhaps
there is something in here to answer your question. http://www.decisionmodels.com/memlimits.htm -- HTH...

Excel gone out of memory
Have you tried saving the spreadsheet part way through the import. That could
free up some memory. Other than that try monitoring the task manager while the import is occuring to see what kind of memory is being used. You can also use application.FreeMemory to have Excel monitor it's memroy and use that to determine if you need to save or take some other course of action... -- HTH...
