Hi All,

I have an Excel (Excel 2000 SP3) file (2 Mbytes) with about one thousand
hyperlinks to word document or excel document. This Excel file is situated
on a machine on our network.
- When I open this Excel file from this machine : it takes about 5 minutes
- When I copy this file from this machine to my PC : it takes about 15
seconds
- When I open this Excel file from my PC : it takes about 5 seconds
- When I delete all the hyperlinks in this Excel file and I open it from the
network machine it takes 45 seconds

Could you explain why it is so long to open a file with Hyperlinks? And
secondly, is it possible to bypass this "long time" to be able to work over
our network?

Thanks for your help

Didier
