If you increase the security rating, then open the
workbook with macros disabled, does it open / close
faster?

I was thinking that you may have to auto_open auto_close
code that might be looping

If anyone can help with this problem it would be greatly
appreciated.

I created a workbooks that is used to present a series
of user input
forms built onto separate sheets that are used to
calculate a score
based on the data input. Nothing to complex, just some
buttons and
check boxes and quite a few custom formulas. I also
added a simple menu
and tool bar for sheet navigation. All was going fine
until the
workbook developed a "bug". It takes up to 15min to
load and save (its
only 800kb). Once open it seems to work OK. The
problem is file and
computer dependent. Similar files work normally on
the "infected"
computer and the "infected" file works normally on other
computers. I
have stripped out the code and various sheets but it
only gives a small
improvement. As far as I can tell the problem occurs
before any code or
recalculation occurs

Any suggests on what may be wrong and how I can fix it?

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried that. I also set
it to manual recalculation to see if custom formulas were
taking a long time. I stripped code and formulas out I
repaired office then uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
I removed all temporary files and ran a virus check. I
defraged my drive. I stopped short of throwing it out of
the window but I still have the bug and it is machine
and file dependent. I have gone from being frustrated to
just curious. I don't want this one to jump out again
when the time pressure is on.
