Currently I have an excel 2007 spreadheeet with around 400 columns of data, I was then hoping to make an ODBC connection to this from a worksheet on a second spreadsheet. Unfortunately only 250 odd columns are actually being recognised using this ODBC link, is there a way around this?

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Hi, Darren.

Just guessing, what if you use an ADO recordset and then use the GETROWS method (to chop the data into blocks of 250 columns)?

There is a thread in the Access section doing similar with rows. I'll post a link in a minute or two.

Regards, Fazza
