[AccessD] Access to Excel 65K row barrier

That is a good point John.  In many instances the PC will choke way before you get anywhere near the limits of the available ranges.

Performance can be an issue with XL2007+.  If it is well designed you can avoid most of these pitsfall, but in reality all it has done for many places is create a much bigger and uglier mess.

These things are usually filled with little errors and bugs that are loathsome and difficult to track down.  The sheer size and flexibility of XL is both its power and failing.

Cheers
Darryl.

I have always wondered about performance with these huge spreadsheets.
