Hi Bob,
In relation to 2) Not all of Excel's limitations are documented
unfortunately.
In relation to 1) I was able to create more than 65,530 non-unique
hyperlinks but I wasn't able to create more than 65,530 unique links.
I verified this as follows:
1. Opened your Hyperlink-Works.xlsx generated file in Excel 2007.
2. Moved to cell B65,531 (although any empty cell is probably
okay).
3. Tried to insert a new hyperlink (
www.perl.com).
4. Excel inserted a string and not a link.
5. Deleted the link in cell 65,530.
6. Moved back to cell B65,531.
7. Successfully inserted a new hyperlink.
Google is quiet on the issue but there are some people reporting this
issue in Excel 2007 (and before) such as this one:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming/787677-hyperlink-issue-with-excel-2007-a.html
So, I think this is an Excel limitation.
Regards,
John.
