Therein lies the problem. Not only does the file contain thousands of
formulas, but is linked to two others with huge numbers of formulas.
Thank you for the insight.

Paul,

If you have more that, IIRC, 65536 formulas, Excel will always show "Calculate" on the status
bar....

Using Excel 2002, I am set to Automatic calculation. One, and only one file
always indicates it requires Manual calculation. I am sure it is something
within the file, but am not sure what to look for. Can someone give me some
guidance on what steps to take to correct the problem.
Thanks, as always.
