As I thought this one was weird. I know you probably experienced doing SELECT statement and getting a truncated text back because the first row has a short data in it.
Well, this one is the same category. The memo column in excel first row is NULL so the above code gave me back 256 characer for the memo. When I changed the data in the first row I got the right data back.
