Thank you all for your input and suggestions. Time permitting, I'm going to
try some of your suggestions to see if they help. I am encouraged in that it
doesn't seem that the file is too big. It would be nice to cut down the size
though.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

Probably not without removing functionality.

OTOH - you might not require all the functionality you have.

You could split the VBA modules into separate categories:

1. Those required to fetch and sort data, and
2. Those required to manipulate drop downs and Excel controls.

Modules in category 1 can be placed into an Add In.

A similar analysis applies to your WorkSheets:

1. Those required to fetch and sort data can be placed in an Add-In.

Now. If the Workbook is an audit and you're sharing the data with an
auditor - you have fewer options than if the workbook is used as an
application.

If the Workbook is used as an application you can store the data in a
database instead of Worksheets.

If there are clusters of modules and forms - you can export them and
load them on an as-needed basis - but I doubt you want to go that
route.
