You're right onlimitations :) Then this works as an easy alternative to combining chunks :
create cursor mytest (orderno i, ttime t, productname c(10))
for ix = 1 to 50000
insert into mytest values (ix, datetime() - ix*5, "Prod"+padl(ix,5,"0"))
endfor
copy to myxls.xls type delimited with tab
oExcel = createobject("Excel.Application")
with oExcel
.WorkBooks.Open(sys(5)+curdir()+"myxls.xls",)
.visible = .t.
endwithCetin
