In addition to what Kevin suggested, do you have a lot of formulas
(array or otherwise) in your workbook? This could cause a workbook to
open slowly.

Hi group.

Win XP SP2
MS Office 2003

Recently I have notice a workbook in excel takes MUCH longer to open now,
yet I have not added much data to file...I am able to open a new excel sheet
with no problem.

My PC is up to date with Windows updates, and wonder if an update may have
caused above problem.

I do regular house keeping on my PC...defrag. cleanup, antivirus checks etc.
etc.

Size "on disc" of above file is 192KB.
The file is OK once opened.

TIA
