--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #4) On the other hand: I tried to *create* such a link in Excel manually. I created an artificial URL of 2 700 000 characters (hoping that it would either show "there's no practical limit", or cut it down to an acceptable limit), and pasted into Excel's Ctrl+K hyperlink dialog. The result was "The address for this hyperlink exceeds the 255-character limit. Please reduce the number of characters." The message is indeed misleading, likely showing that Excel had such a limit at some point (95?), and didn't update error messages since increasing it. And the actual limit seems to be strange 2083 characters in the URL (it starts to show that dialog at 2084 characters). Note that the testing was done with the default-created new Excel document, not with an XLS (legacy format), where some additional limitations could apply, nor with any "compatibility mode". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
