Excel responding slowly
I'm running Excel 2002 and whenever I enter data into a cell there is a
longer than normal delay before the next cell receives the focus. I also find that the drag and fill takes a long time to complete. When I do a Replace, it takes a long time to do, at least until it has replaced the designated items on the part of the sheet that is visible. After that, the rest of the replacements are quick. This only started recently and I don't know what causes it. My PC is running fine and the CPU is not abnormally tasked. Any ideas? |

Are there a lot of calculations automatically being updated? Mine is slow
too, and I attributed it to that, but it still seems slower than it should be.

No calculations at all. Just entering text and numbers. The smart menus
come up ok (like after dragging, I can fill without formatting) but once I select an option, it takes 2-3 seconds for it to execute. I'll do a virus scan to see if that is the culprit. Roger.

I'm using the indirect.ext function (I think that's it) and it's accessing
files over the extremely slow network. I can see network activity when I can't access EXCEL and when EXCEL is available, the network activity is negligable. I'm guessing that's not your problem.
