You must have lost a column. :-)
The rest of us with Excel 2003 have 256 columns, not 255.

hi
it is not possible to increase the number of columns (or rows). 2003 is
fixes at 255 columns. xl2007 has increase the number of columns to 16
thousand and rows to 1 million+. depending on how desperate you are, it
sounds like it's may be time for an upgrade.
