csv.reader(): Limit the number of columns read in Windows
#9
Microsoft Excel has a maximum of 255 columns. Importing a CSV record with more than 255 fields can cause some versions of Microsoft Excel to exhibit strange behavior. That is probably why you're only able to do a maximum of 255 fields with the OleDBDataAdapter.

Regards,
Caleb
