    My only consolation is that there seem to be so many posts about this issue both here and on other forums that they have to do something about it, right?

    Dream on... MS doesn't even have 64-bit drivers for Excel yet. The 32-bit driver can't insert into a named range if there is anything under it, even if all the data will fit into the named range. Don't see them to eager to "do something about it". 🙁

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
