65,000 record limitation on copy or export to Excel?

[Bruce]

Trying to move about 85,000 rows of data to Excel (now that Excel has approx
1 million rows) and cannot copy and paste due to clipboard limitations; also
get the same error message regarding 65,000 record limit when attempting to
export to Excel.

Why not try linking the Excel sheet into your Access
database as a table using Get External Data then stuff it
with data using an Access append query from your existing
table. I don't know whether you'd hit limits again but must
be worth a try.

You can't update linked Excel tables anymore, Nick, since Microsoft lost the
lawsuit.

Oh. I'd forgotten about that.

Thanks Doug, owe you yet another beer...

Doug having reminded me about the linked worksheet update
limitation the only other thing I can think of is to export
to an appropriate neutral file type, open that in Excel and
then save it as a worksheet.

In this case try comma separated variable format (CSV) using
the Export option from the File menu on either a table or a
Select query which you have created to get the data you
want.
