I thought I had posted this late yesterday but wasn't able to find it.

I do a lot of work with an Excel workbook used to track workflow. The
workbook is shared so that several people in the office can make and save
changes. We are working in Excel 2000. We have noticed that since updating
the workbook for 2005 that it is extremely slow opening. Like it is
calculating or searching for something. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to open.
But, it only does this when "shared" is on. If I turn it off the workbook
opens fast like it should.

I suspect there is some problem with sharing, but haven't been able to find
any suggestions in help files or books, so I am asking here. I realy need to
get this problem fixed.
