Do you have virus protection that is checking the file (such as Norton
Anti-Virus).

Also, with Excel closed, try cleaning out your Temp folder.

It take forever to load a worksheet (3-4 minutes). I
have a new, powerful machine. If I load the file on
someone else's computer it takes one second to load.
I've turned off my virus protection software, disabled
macros, and I'm at a loss at to why it takes so long to
load. Any suggestions? Thanks, John
