> I would like to know what the limit is before Excel 'chokes'?

Programming wouldnt be that much fun if everything could be distilled to hard
numbers, would it?? ;-)

I used to stream HTML tables to excel of about 2MB. I had to switch to server
side generation, since that amount of data made the client freeze for minutes. A
hung pc for 5 mins isnt condusive to happy customers :). Crashes were
intermittent at that size.
