65536 sounds like a limitation of a numeric variable?

do you use a loop with a counter? Counter runs from 0 to ffff (or 65536)?

if not, post ypur macro

I am very sure that the Problem is the cvs file.

while Excel has no more the Limit to 65536 lines

but csv still has it..

also csv is loosing formating options

try to Export to excel

obj1.ExportBiff "D:\Exportv1.xls"

Its the limitation with the Excel , we could export only the first 65536 rows of data in the export . In order to get the complete rows you need to write the macro to do that 

Try like this:

1.Count the number of rows

2.If its more than get 65536 rows than you need divide the data set in to first 65536 and second 65536 like this then loop through and export the complete same.

OR

Build the complete logic in the script and then directly create the QVD so that you won't face this issues

hope this helps you

-Thanks Avinash for your help. Do you any macro code to divide the data automatically from the object and export it to N no. of files.

- In script we are getting the data not in one table. It's around 10 tables. So, I hope cann't create the logic to create a QVD in backend it self.
