Stasi,

What does "Empty" mean? All the cells are blank? Certain cells are blanks, with formulas/constants
in others? There is only one worksheet?

Bernie,
The question is also posted in the programming group.

Go to View and select details. Then click on the size column to sort your
files by size. I imagine your empty workbooks will have the fewest bytes.
