The issues is not the size of the files. The files that I've open is less
than a 1MB. Also, it happens when I open a new document. Just the act of
closing Excel causes the CPU usage to spike.

I have checked an this only does it with Excel. Word, Outlook, Access and
other programs don't do this, just Excel.

Thanks,

Very good point. I'd been thinking along the lines of "there is some
problem", while you have thought about "things may be working properly -
but
the file itself has changed".

having 70MB opening was a long delay in opening and closing the file.

After you close Excel, you can't open up anything because the CPU is
being
taxed.

This only started about 2 weeks ago and it only does it with Excel.

Any ideas?
