Will it be possible to have or use more than 256 columns in an Excel
worksheet, specially using VBA. (As example Data acquistion with 400
ways ..)??

many thanks

an often asked question, but the answer is no. I generally recommend
transposing the array as there's 31000+ rows although the MVP's seem to get
a bit annoyed with this. However, my view is that if the answer is negative,
offering alternatives my provide insight to a solution.
good luck.

I've no problem with transposing the data 8-)

However , you may want to
1) Spread your data over several sheets
2) Consider writing your data out to a database.

You haven't said what you want to do with this data, so it's hard to
evaluate the alternatives.

I am familiar with data acquisition using Excel. If you want to give out some
details, I might have some further pointers for you.
