In Outlook application, do you have Journalling enabled?

This can slow Excel down considerably when closing.

In Outlook........ToolsOptionsPreferencesJournal Options.

Uncheck Excel.

Hi Experts,
It takes very long time (minutes) for me to close file or exit Excel
program.This happens with small excel file, so it is not about the file size.
Also, I have scanned virus on my computer and there is none. Other program
does not have this problem, so I assume it is specific for excel. Does any
one have any idea what might be wrong?
