Older versions of VBA had a 64K maximum size of a compiled module.

VB6 had a limit of 64K lines of code in a single procedure / function / subroutine

It also had a limit of 64k maximum identifiers in a module.

It's possible that some of those limits may no longer exist in the latest versions of VBA, but I can't conceive of any reason why Microsoft would bother to invest any resources in removing a 64k limit on the size of a subroutine.

If you have a single subroutine that's anywhere near that size, it really should be split up.
