Yes, and 640K of memory is enough for anyone.

This is a prime example of when MS refuses to do actual work on their
software to make it useful to users.

gt; as Access.
gt;
gt; Is it a database download? Split the download, with a common field in each

gt; gt;I need to extend an excel spreadsheet past the last available column. There
gt; gt; seem to be loads of rows in an excel sheet but the number of columns is
gt; gt; quite
gt; gt; limiting for what I need. I presume the number of columns is limited for
gt; gt; memory reasons but I can lose some rows if that helps. Any ideas?
