loading excel takes ages
It takes over 60 seconds for Excel to load. I cannot get to Excel by clinking
an Exce work sheet, (it will stall and then provide an error message). I can only access Excel through the startprogrammes function. all other applications load without delay. I am using Excel 2003. I checked the directory and the file states "Excel11.xlb" - it will not let me change this file (states is Read Only)... any assistance greatly appreciated |

excel.xlb is the toolbar customisation file, not a workbook. I would delete
it. Excel will create a new one but any toolbar customisations will be gone -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Smilersal" wrote in message ...

It wont let me delete it (states in use or read only). If this is not the
cause of the delay, would you know of anything else that i can try to speed up the loading of Excel? "Nick Hodge" wrote: excel.xlb is the toolbar customisation file, not a workbook.

Make sure excel is closed when you try to delete it.
And if that doesn't help, maybe rebooting and trying to delete it as the first thing you do will help. Smilersal wrote: It wont let me delete it (states in use or read only).
