Long time to load
It take forever to load a worksheet (3-4 minutes). I
have a new, powerful machine. If I load the file on someone else's computer it takes one second to load. I've turned off my virus protection software, disabled macros, and I'm at a loss at to why it takes so long to load. Any suggestions? Thanks, John |

John,
Clear out (delete) the files from your temp directory(s). -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "john" wrote in message ...

Do you have virus protection that is checking the file (such as Norton
Anti-Virus). Also, with Excel closed, try cleaning out your Temp folder. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy john wrote in message ... It take forever to load a worksheet (3-4 minutes).

Long time to load
Thanks, when I loaded the software I used the default
settings for the directory structure. I couldn't find a 'temp' directory. Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks for your help.

Long time to load
This is the windows temp folder--not exclusive to excel.
Windows Start button Run %temp% (both percent signs are needed) Hit ok. (it's the quickest way I know to get there.) Depending on what's running, you might get some "can't delete" warnings. Just select your files around those. When I do it by hand, I show the list in detail view and sort by date. Then I can get rid of everything before today in one fell swoop. (Click the first and shift click the last file to select everything in between.) John wrote: Thanks, when I loaded the software I used the default settings for the directory structure.
