Maximum Rows and Columns

[PBear]

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 button>Save 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?
