Trouble with importing cells bigger than 255 char
 

Hi,

I am trying to import an excel sheet into an excel file. It works,
however, cells that are more than 255 chars are cutting off...here is
the code I am using...Please help!!! Is there an alternative?


'*********************IMPORT EXCEL FILE*********************
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Response As Variant


'***************New Code TO Extract**********************
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim CurrentWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim FileName As Variant


FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(filefilter:="Excel Workbook(*.xls),*.txt,All
Files(*.*),*.*")
If FileName = False Then
MsgBox "You did not select a file."
Sheets("Setup").Select
Exit Sub
End If


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("RawData").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
Set CurrentWB = ThisWorkbook
Set xlBook = Workbooks.Open(FileName, False, True)
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)
xlSheet.Copy after:=CurrentWB.Sheets(CurrentWB.Sheets.Count)
xlBook.Close savechanges:=False
'Application.ScreenUpdating = True
CurrentWB.Sheets(CurrentWB.Sheets.Count).Select
Cells.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("RawData").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Columns("A:Z").EntireColumn.AutoFit
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets(CurrentWB.Sheets.Count).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set CurrentWB = Nothing

I´d say: Read each source cell value and write it into the target cell´s
value. AFAIK about 65,000 characters are possible then.

But for a better answer it might be helpful to ask an expert in an Excel
newsgroup.
