John,

I am running win2k, perl 5.6.1.633, and version 0.37 of SS:WE. I tried just changing the max number of files from 100 to 1000 and encountered the same error after file number 502. I am writing to a networked drive on a unix machine. I also tried this on an NT machine, writing to a local drive (just to check whether this is a windows limitation) and encountered the same error as well after file number 502. My script was crashing on file 79 because I had more worksheets I think. So adding more worksheet will reduce when it errors. I also checked the total size of the xls files and it is not close to the 7mb limit I heard about.

Please let me know if you encounter the same error

Thanks,
Toan

PS: Great job writing this module by the way, a great tool.
