Hey, I have a bit of a dilema. I have created a program that take
claims manually when the system is down, and once the system is bac
online, people re-open the excel file which contains my VBA program t
re-enter back into the system. The program is essentially a collectio
of forms tied together that capture data and save them onto a exce
sheet. At the end of the data capture process the worker presses
button and the whole excel file, data and vba program are sent vi
email to a folder in Outlook. The problem is that the file is 2mb, an
when its time to re-enter the data into the program it takes about 20-3
secs to open the program because Outlook is so slow.

What i am looking to do is to have the VBA Dataforms still capture th
data, but sever the ties to the VBA Coding and just be data, say i
Word, so the file actually being emailed is only a few KB's big. An
ideas, or if i am being too vague, please let me know

You basically want to save the xls w/o any macros, right?

You would have to save as "xml" then open the xml file and save back as xls.
This way you will get an xls file with no macros.
