John,

Thanks for getting back to me. (am starting to see posts, but this one
hasn't popped up)(got your message from Developers dex).

Now let's see.
Tried calculation Auto and Manual. In manual things
speed up to normal.
Made sure I wasn't set to view formulas.
The problem persists (in Auto calculation).

Removed the Offset references in the names and voile...
the delay disappeared. So I am going to use code to set
the names.

Don't understand why the Offset formulas in the names is
causing a problem since I have been using these since forever.

Again, thanks...

steve
