I have a simple question, but searching on the internet didn’t help me (maybe my brains are not working as they should… :S).
I have a dropdown list in Excel 2003, which I fill via VBA script. Now I get errors, when the size of the list is to big. In know there is a limit to the number of characters in a list.

At first I didn’t had the error, when I was working in Excel 2007. But I needed to change to 2003. Before going further, defining a functional solution, I would like to know what the limitation is, max number of characters, of the dropdown list in Excel 2003??

Note: if found this MS website, but I don’t see what I’m looking for…

    For excel 2003, the limits I can find are per Microsoft: The maximum number of entries that you can have in a drop-down list is 32,767.
    There also seems to be limit of 256 characters per item.
