Just a thought here: Is it possible that you are you putting any formatting information in the string like font or size, etc., they would take up space too.

I'm trying to set a string into the header that's 244 characters long and the excel only displays the first letter. I searched around and the documentation says the header has a limit of 255 byes, but i put in a string of 214 characters and it was displayed. Any reasons for this? Also, is there anyway to get around the 255 character limit?
