[Rd] (PR#11291) View functionhas problems going beyond 65536 rows *using the scrollbar*
THanks for the response. Sorry about the misleading subject line, but I did say in the description that it only appears to happen with the scroll bar and can understand if it is a limitation of Windows. Probably left over from the days when Excel could only go to 65536 rows.
