1. Check the References for the VBA project(s) that they dont refer to
anything on the network.
2. try getting rid of the internal hyperlinks and see if that solves the
problem

Thanks for the reply Charles.
The only hyperlinks within the spreadsheet are internal links (links to
other worksheets within the same file).
There are no DDE links, OLE links or any other data access links.
There is a considerable amount of VBA, all of which I have written myself.
None of which I would expect to be utilising the network. Is there
something
I need to look for here or that you may have had in mind?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I've got a bit of a strange one here, I'm still investigating but
thought
I
might post in case anyone has any ideas.
We have a quite complex spreadsheet (Excel 2003) where the speed of
calculations had started to become an issue.
Upon investigation of the speed issues it became apparent that most of
the
time, when performing the calculation operaton (either automatically or
by
pressing F9) a network spike would show in the LAN section of the
'Networking' tab in Task Manager. This spike appears only when
calculating
and drops back down to 0% as soon as the calculation is complete.
This spreadsheet is running completely locally (C drive). There are no
links
to spreadsheets anywhere on the network.
We found that if you unplug the network cable, then the calculation
speed
is
only a fraction of the time, and obviously there is no network activity
showing in the task manager.
To add further confusion to the problem, it does not appear to happen
every
time. There are times (so far they seem random, but I'm still looking
for
a
pattern), where you open the spreadsheet and calculation is fast, and
no
network activity is present.
Due to the fact that this activity perfectly coincides with the
calculation,
I don't believe this has anything to do with any software updates from
other
applications.
Any help/ideas/advice would be welcomed.
