File size MASSIVE but why?
One suggestion - there is an Add-In called FindLinks by Bill Manville. I
don't have the where to get it, but someone here may know. The reason is one
of my workbooks was bloating in size with continued use. When I ran
FindLinks, there were over 9000 bad links stored in the workbook, and
growing with each use. I found the source was I hyperlinked to websites and
gathered data to a helper sheet so I could update the data in my workbook.
Each time I ran the update, the helper sheet got data from over 200
websites. Here is the issue: the helper sheet was a hidden sheet and Excel
kept a link to it and all the hyperlinked sites, and the list grew with each
update.
The answer was not to keep the helper sheet in the workbook anymore.
When I run an update now, I add a new helper sheet to gather the data, and
then delete the sheet when the update is done.
May be of some help...

I have a quite a detailed report (Workbook) that has many macro's within.
On one sheet i have Photo's placed by a Macro into certain cells and sized
to suit.
What i have done is run a macro that CLEARS ALL data and ALL Photos from
the WorkBook.
This is OK, but i have NOTICED that the WorkBook size is now 56.6MB is
size.
Is Excel storing the Images within somehow, although they are deleted?
How can i clear this temporary memory to reduce the file size again?
