I've found that every version of Excel is slower than the previous and Excel
2007 sets a new standard. However I haven't seen anything akin to your
experience. I'd say 'something is going on' but no idea what. Btw, do you
get the same delayed opening if you open a workbook from Excel's File, Open
versus double-clicking a link to the file?

| Excel 2007. Since upgrading to Office 2007 from Office 2003 I have
noticed a

| modules that run on open. In Office 2003 the workbook main sheet came up
| right away. Now in 2007 Excel acts like it has opened nothing (blank
window)
| and remains that way for up to 30 seconds before actually displaying my
| workbook's main sheet. THEN it starts executing (ever so slowly) the
startup
| VBA module. Why is this "new and improved" product so slow in loading my
| workbbok and SLOW in completing the startup code? Thanks for any help.

| P.S. I am experiencing the same slowness with Word 2007 and Outlook 2007.
