Built-in Excel constant for maximum number of rows, for columns?

Are there built-in Excel constants for maximum number of rows, for columns?

AFAIK no and don't see how a constant would be viable. The number of rows &
columns in a sheet is version dependant. Although versions 8-11 have 65536 x
256, earlier versions have less and I understand XL12 will have considerably
more.

nRows = ActiveSheet.Rows.Count
nCols = ActiveSheet.Columns.Count

Note that these really aren't' constants, but are properties of the Rows
and Columns collection (which are child objects of Worksheet - not
qualifying them defaults to the ActiveSHeet).

Since the number of rows in a worksheet is version dependent, using this
method is superior to constants, since Rows.Count will return the number
of rows in the activesheet for XL4 (16757), and XL97-04 (65536) and will
return over 1,000,000 for XL12.

Ayup, I should have said "property", instead of "constant".
