    Excel 2007 and Compat. Mode

    I am using Excel 2007 and I am trying to import a text file that has about 750,000 rows. When I do an import with a text file as its source it only gets to 65,534 rows like it does in Excel 2003. It does this because its in "compatability mode". how do I turn this mode off?? I want the normal 2007...

    Thanks!

    G'day

    Firstly a question please, are you using an old file that you used from excel 2003 ?

    If so, 'Save As' the file as a 'Excel Workbook' (.xlsx)

    Also you may need to change this setting.

    With Excel open go to the 'Office Button'

    > Excel Option > Save > 'Save files in this format:' > change the setting to 'Excel Workbook'

    HTH
    Have I made you happy ??? If yes, please make me happy by pressing the http://www.excelforum.com/images/buttons/reputation-40b.png Add Reputation button in my post.

    Thanks
    I don't void confusion, I create it
