Hi Albert

have you by any chance recently installed Google Desktop?
There have been many instances reported where this slows things down in
Excel.
If you have, try un-installing it and see if that improves matters.

I have been using Excel successfully for many years but I have come
across a problem in the last few days. Since I have my pricing sheets
in one directory and presentations in another, I am constantly changing
from one to the other. Lately I am getting a 5-10 second delay each
time I try to go from one to the other. How do I eliminate this delay
and go back to the instant switching I was used to. I change from file
to file by going to the "look in" window and switch from there. It used
to just diplay the other directories and I would click on the one I
wanted. Now the delay of 5-10 seconds takes places when I click on the
"look in" space and then it gives me what I want after the delay. I
would appreciate any help from anyone on this issue as it is costing me
a lot of time and is very frustrating.

Thank You
Albert
