Thanks John. I've never bumped up against this limit, so I was not aware of it.

I'm sure the line length maximum is available, but I tried searching and was
unable to find it. Googling for "Visual Basic for Applications" returns a
download link for the [MS-VBAL].pdf , the VBA Language Specification. It
says that an implementation may impose a length restriction. (When I went
to http://downloads.microsoft.com, I could not locate the language spec
download on that site, but it downloaded OK from the Google link.)

IIRC, in the past that length limit was 255. It may have been extended in
recent versions.

I was able to put about 60 or so user ids in a horizontal
fashion...looks tough to manage though.
I hear you about keeping data in a table, Tom!
