Default file size & error checking

Thanks for the feedback.

The errors are things like divide by zero. I am also resetting the ranges.
It's not my spread sheet I am looking at it for a friend and was curious
about whether or not the green triangles made the file larger. They had
about 15 sheets and all of the ranges needed to be reset so that made the
file quite a bit smaller. Thanks for your help.

I would first try to find out why the error-checking is happening.

When you hover over one of the triangles what hint does it give?

Turning off error-checking does not make a file smaller AFAIK.

Perhaps you may want to try re-setting the actual used range.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for info.

I have a spreadsheet that keeps growing is size, but only a row or two has
been added. There are a ton of the green triangles in it though.
