Charles, I ofcourse agree with Fransisco, and Jeff Putnam who wrote the article. But that's how they want this, i was just checking if 70 columns may caz problems, frankly I've never seen a table like that. I am not running the company and I ca't really input my rules. Right now they've decided to refernish the division I personally would first paint the walls, then do the carpeting, then bring the new furniture. They are doing this in exactly the opposite order, some of the new furniture is already here, and painting doesn't start till monday, and we'll still have to wear corparate attire. And we can't really argue.. :) > Oleg, > > If you want to be a spreadsheet developer and not a database developer, > then continue with your spreadsheet thinking.
