If I do this:

Dim theTxt as String

theTxt = Activesheet.Cells(1,1).Text

for some reason the text (which is actually 1849 characters long) is
truncated to 1024 characters.

If I do this:

Dim theTxt as Variant

theTxt = Activesheet.Cells(1,1)

I get the complete text string from the cell.

Can someone tell me why these two approaches are giving me different results?

Thanks,

Eric

One uses the .text property, the other uses the default property (.value).
