Hello, As far as I know excel versions prior to Office 2000 are not able to handle cells with more than 255 characters in length. Additionally, they are not able to deal with tables having >65535 rows. This is not a fact, only my personal experience.
That's correct. But when I copy and paste a textblock longer 255 characters into an excel field it works without a problem. So what is the difference ? Worksheet::writeString works only with 255 characters, but Worksheet::write should maybe handle more characters. Any idea ? I am a little under preasure. bloody english - sorry. ;-) Greetings, Jens.
Greetings, Norbert
