Workbook slow opening & saving
 

Hi there,

I have an Excel 2002 workbook that contained;

10,000 rows of raw data
A pivot table spread over 7 worksheets (ie utiliising the pages option)
Several users with read only access across the network
4 small macros contained within a module
Some Vlookup functionality

Just recently this spreadsheet started to take 2-3 mins to open & to save,
so in order to try & remedy this I took out a lot of historical data so that
now I only have 3,000 rows of data. However the problem still persists.

The file is abot 7mb big and I have gone in to all worksheets & deleted
blank rows & columns but to no avail.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Phil

Clear out your Temporary Internet Files for starters.
