SYMPTOMS
When you return data from Microsoft Query to your Microsoft Excel
worksheet, more records than you specified in the "Limit number of records
returned to" box in the Preferences dialog box in Microsoft Query are
returned.
CAUSE
The "Limit number of records returned to" option affects only the number of
records to display in the data pane in Microsoft Query. This setting does
not affect the number of records returned by your query.
STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Query.
MORE INFORMATION
The "Limit number of records returned to" option is useful if your query
returns a large result set. Limiting the number of records that Microsoft
Query can display in the data pane improves performance in Microsoft Query.
