The limit for constants is 40 with my version of MS - 7.03. There is a way
round that as well. Once you have used your 40 constants, which do not have
to be 0-39, you can add combinations of constants to get the value you
require. The next problem you will run into is the 2499 character limit
because adding numbers together takes up more space.
Examples
Suppose you use 0-39 as your allowable constants, then for
40 use 39+1, and for
41 use 39+2
and so on. Simple really.
