Number of sheets is limited by available memory, if you search help for
[Excel specifications and limits] you'll see it there among other things

I know there is a limit to the number of columns (256)
and rows (about 64,000) in a single Excel spreadsheet.
But is there a limit to the number of worksheets in a
file or the total size of a single Excel file? I have a
very complex Excel 2000 workbook I wrote that has several
hundred linked worksheets that total over 50MB in size
for the file. If I open another similar Excel file that
is about 40MB, Excel hangs even though I have nearly a
gigabyte of memory (I had thought Excel file size was
only limited by the amount of available memory). If I
open a new session of Excel and then open the second
workbook, both programs run fine except if I try to link
or copy/paste between them - which causes Excel to
crash. Is this an Excel limitation?

Thanks.
