I posted this in a different list on 7/27 and got no responses.

I have a fairly large workbook used for stock analysis. It gets data using
web connect . It just gets a .CSV file and then a current quote by getting a
web page and parsing it for the last price. This all works fine. The problem
is in Excel 2000 the entire process takes 10 seconds (Win2K-SP3 or SP4).
However, if I use Excel XP (on either Win2K or WinXP) it takes 1-2 minutes
and the statusbar messages indicate it's very slow only on the web connect
code, which is:



Any ideas. Are there changes or new settings in ExcelXP that could cause
This like a long timeout (although it's not timing out as the data
eventually shows up)?
