What is the maximum for the Excel column's width?

>I'm trying to convert Excel file into DBF. I'm using fSplitIntoDBF function which is my modification of my colleague's code. I have a problem with columns that have long info (less than 255 chars, though). I'm trying this code:

>   .columns[m.lnI].autofit()

>** To make sure long descriptions fit
>	.columns[m.lnI].columnwidth = .columns[m.lnI].columnwidth * 5

>   catch to loRangeProblem

>However, long columns are still truncated. The length of the info in the column is 175 chars, but my output file has only 110 chars. The other column also has just 112 chars, but it should be wider.
