Curve fitting exponential data

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me to solve this problem. It's beginning to drive me nutts.
I have an array of data and i am trying to fit a curve to the data from each column. I started firstly by looking at just a few of the curves and they appear to be of the exponential form, increasing with x to an asymptote where y goes to infinity.
you can see a jpeg here http://www.flickr.com/photos/jordanmertes/6120910460/in/photostream
the problem is that i cannot get the fit to bend correctly. i've tried using different equations but nothing gets there. this fit was done using a*exp(b*x)+c*exp(d*x).
At first i was plotting this backwards, and then the curve was fitting very well. Then i realized i needed it this way and haven't been able to get a decent fit.
I know that all of the curves from the data set have asymptotes at a values that i know.
I've also tried adjusting some of the fitting options but in all honesty i'm not sure that's helped. Nothing seems to follow the sloow increase up to the curve and then sharp turn upwards.
Any help with this or suggestions would be most greatfully appreciated.
Cheers

I suggest you try plotting the log of your data. That might help you infer a better fitting function.

Hi cyclist. I did that, but it still doesn't come out linear to make for an easier fit. I tried semilogx, semilogy, loglog all to see if it appeared to become more linear. While part of it does get close, there is still the section that goes asymptotic.

Just incase my picture wasn't enough. Here is the data. Maybe someone might have the time to try this and see if they can come up with the right form. I'm not sure I totally understand the different options in the cftool gui. I know the equation needs to have more coeff than 1 or 2. otherwise the curve doesn't snug close enough. I'll keep at it.
