Bill, thanks for the response, but no pivot tables. I read a vague
description about Excel wanting to store equations....dunno. Any other
suggestions would be welcomed. John

If you do have pivots, modify the pivot table settings so that it does
not save the underlying data with the table. This will easily cut the
file size in 1/2 if you have any large pivots.

Can you do that in an existing pivot table or do you have to start over
please?
