Hi.

I am trying to work on a project which requires generation of an excel file using Java. I am using jxlapi for that. But I cant use column length more than 256 while i need around 1000.

Any suggestions how to accomplish it??

Thanks and regards.

Open Office 3.0 support 1024 column.

Wait ...
are you saying jxlapi API do not support column over 256 Or you are saying that you cannon open a spreadsheet which has more than 256 column

-- I am not sure. Compiling dint give any error. While running there was nothing like jxl doesnt support but it was more like  "Could not add cell at A303 because it exceeds the maximum column limit" . I think its the problem with spreadsheet.

Thanks.
