Default Maximum Rows and Columns

Just got my new Office 2007 Suite of applications. One reason I wanted the
new Office is that I work with large data files and the capability of 1
million rows and a lot of columns will help me. Unfortunately, I just tried
to combine 2 large worksheets that totalled more than 66,000 rows and got the
error message that I had exceeded the row maximum. How do I "turn on" the
larger row and column capability? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You probably opened older format Excel files. Office buttonSave as... choose Excel workbook (or macro enables workbook if you
need to), close and re-open.

Niek, you were correct. It should have been intuitive to me, but I didn't
think of it. Thanks for the help.

Wouldn't you be better using a proper database application for that sort of
quantity?
