Hi Scott,

For the optimization of Excel, I'd suggest one MSDN article may provide some assistance for you on this issue. Please go to:
Recalculation in Microsoft Excel 2002
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...c_xlrecalc.asp

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Does this answer your question? Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!
