Not my problem at the moment but a colleague pointed out that he had 750+ variables. Excel handles 256. Actually my problem is now a SAS one where I can get a clean csv export but lose the variable labels. My crude workaround was just to do a proc contents and cut-and-paste the results. A pain but it worked. I've got to figure out why I cannot get Hmisc to work!
