I'm not sure where you're having the trouble.  I usually have
Excel set at 1024, and with some really big spreadsheets I've
set it to 2048. Make sure you have quit Excel before you change
(actually I don't think it will let you until you do) do a get
info and change the application memory size.  This has always
worked fine with multifinder. What version of Excel are you
using?  2.2?  Make sure you have enough memory on your Mac
to support the extra your giving to Excel.
