>One easy way to deal with this is to make two passes at the file. Run an IMPORT or APPEND FROM to get all of the non-memo content. Then make a second pass using Excel automation to read the Cell.Value for the locations that contain the memo values. Do it this way is a lot better speedwise than doing cell by cell access to the entire spreadsheet.
