Excel File size limit

[Doodstaa]

Hi - please can somebody advise - I have a user who has asked what is a workable file size limit for an excel file, (before it becomes unworkable as it cannot be loaded into memory) - The user has a 40mb spreadsheet she continually works on - we have continually advised that this is too large but she won't accept this answer. Thanks in advance for any help.

What is the problem with the file as it is ?

Let the user keep working with it, then when it blows up, she'll realize you were right. If it never blows up, then don't worry about it.
