I have a Workbook that is 7.2 MB. It has lots of images, macros, range names, etc. Whenever I try to write data to a cell or cells, or clear cell contents using a macro, it is maddeningly slow. I am currently trying to sort a list of only 44 values using a Userform list box and associated macro, putting the selected values in one column, and the unselected in another column. I could knit a sweater in the time it takes to execute. Are there any settings I need to make to enhance speed? Is the speed (even for such a small list) that much machine dependent? I am using a Pentium III 386 with 512 MB RAM. Is the execution speed being influenced by the size of the workbook? (I actually tried the same sorting routine in a separate Workbook, and the results are almost instantaneous!) Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated
