Default Dividing A Workbook Into Smaller Portions


Help! I've created several workbooks that are taking too long to open
and close. I want to split the worksheets and make smaller workbooks.
Is there any easy way to do this?

Also: The "Delete Sheet" option is not available, apparently due to
these workbooks being on a shared drive. I have tried moving them off
of the shared drive so that I can delete and/or make changes to some of
the worksheets, but I am still unable to do this.

Can anyone tell me how I can make it so this option is available
again?

Thank you for any assistance offered! :)

I'd guess that it's workbook protection (tools|protection|protect workbook)
that's causing the "delete sheet" unavailability problem.

And if you can copy the sheets to a new workbook
one by one
edit|move or copy sheet

Then save each of those workbooks (with just one worksheet) as your smaller
files.

Personally, if I have formulas on one sheet that refer to other worksheets, I
wouldn't do this.
