Gotcha,
Thanks



| Rodney,
| A re-install in the last thing I would do.
| I would uncheck that autosave.
| I would delete the user8.xlb file.
| I would clean out the temporary internet files and the recycle bin.
| If I did not use/have/want optical recognition software then
| I would remove the TBRUN9.xls file from the xlStart folder -
| and/or uninstall the program.
| I would make sure I have Excel service release 2 (SR2) installed.
| I would check my anti-virus software to make sure it is not running
| live checks on the spreadsheets...Norton | Options | Other and
| uncheck "Enable Office Plug-in.
| I would disable the find fast indexer...
| http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=158705
| I would review any other references to Excel save problems that
| I know about.
| Then I would consider a re-install.
|
| Hope that helps.

| Just a FYI,
| I can open a new "workbook" takes a fraction of a second.
| I can close that workbook, takes a fraction of a second.
| I can type one single character in 1 cell eg "a"
| then it takes 40 seconds to close.
| must have trouble somehow writing to disk
| Do you think it wise to uninstall, then re-install MSOffice?

| | I'll uncheck everything for a test.
| | I'll also visit the links I was offered prior
| | and work through some more ideas.
