Hello All,

A client I have is having an issue trying to save files. It opens all files
fine but when making changes and trying to save the file it take at least 3
to 5 minutes before finishing the save. Others who use this file can save
the files fine but the one client takes a long time. He was using office
2000. I upgraded him to 2003 but having the same issue. Any ideas on why
this is happening and is there a fix for this other that uninstall and
reinstall of the product? Other office programs save fine, just excel seems
to have an issue. Using XP pro.

Thanks in Advance

Parker

A stretch, but having Journalling enabled in Microsoft Outlook can cause slow
saving.

Open Outlook and ToolsOptionsPreferencesJournal Options. Uncheck the Excel
option.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry the program wasn't even setup for
email. I did however have it startup without email support but the excel
box was not checked. Anything else I can look for?

Gord,
I have tried several of his tips with no success yet. I did notice
something that I hadnt seen before. When the client tries to save the file
it appears to make an additional copy next to it in the taskbar. Then when
the save has eventually finishes the extra copy(?) goes away. Is this
another problem?
Thanks Again
