Why can you not put a patch out that remedies the problem of SLOW, SLOW
Excel starting and then opening every wookbook I have before the one I am
looking for. Disgusting! Some take a very frustrating 2 to 3 minutes.

Hi Robert

It sounds as though you have a wrong setting.
Click the round Office ButtonExcel OptionsAdvancedscroll down to the
General Sectionremove or change the entry in the
"At startup, open all files in location" box.

Hi Robert

The try looking at your XLSTART folder, and see what files you have in
there.
XL automatically opens all files in this folder.

On my VISTA machine, the path is
C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLS TART

One way to find the path is to right click on a sheet tabView CodeGtrl+G
to bring up the Immediate window and type in that window
?application.StartupPath
and press Enter
