Such loop variables were intentionally declared as ULONG to use the maximum size integer a system provides, back in time when ULONG was typedef'ed to unsigned long. On the other hand, I can hardly imagine a spreadsheet where more than 2^32 cells are passed as a data range.. A safe approach would be to use sal_uInt32 and introduce a GetuInt32() method (internally using GetDouble()) to obtain an argument that is to be converted into a sal_uInt32 and let that set an error if the approxFloor()'ed argument value is greater than SAL_MAX_UINT32. We may introduce errNumericOverflow to signal this and distinguish from other errors. Eike -- OOo Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
