Default Application.Calculate vs. F9

One of my colleagues has a spreadsheet that contains a great deal of
complicated calculations. This is in XL2003.

When he hits F9 to force Excel to calculate, there is a noticable pause - 3
seconds or so - for all the recalcing to occur.

He also has a macro in which he uses the Application.Calculate and it runs a
lot quicker. His concern is that VBA is not waiting for the calculation to
complete before moving to the next line.

Is there a difference in what Excel does when you programmatically calculate
vs. using F9?


I'm asking this on behalf of a co-worker and have not seen the workbook in
question.
