I have an 1106Kb excel 2000 file that takes over 1 min (nearly two) to load
which I find excessive. The same file without the combo boxes (about 100),
some code to modify the default header and a multipage (3) userform with
minimal code is about 550Kb and loads within secs.

I can't believe the slow load time is normal. Am I missing something? or
how can I reduce the load time?

Do some features like Vlookup or combo box degrade performance?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
