Answer 1

Older Excel versions (prior to 2007) indeed have a limit of some 65k+ rows per worksheet. Run your code and reference any object Lib starting w/Excel 2007 and up (max 1,048,576 rows per worksheet, Lib version correspondingly 12.x and up). Pertinent to your case, try to use a notation [Sheet1$A:A] instead of [Sheet1$A1:A65537] Rgds,

Answer 2

I encountered this problem a long time ago. What I did was writing my query like this:

select Data from [Temp$]

Where Temp was my sheet name, the content of cell A1 was "Data" and the content of A2:A80000 were ids

It worked.
