Hi Halim, (excel.programming)
I don't have Excel 2003, so it may have unique problems, and likewise
don't work on a network.

One possible problem and one that has a solution is an
error in the Last Cell indication of worksheet(s) -- see what
you get with Ctrl+End which should be at the intersection of your
last used row and column.

If that is the problem, you are possibly either adding and deleting a lot of rows,
or unnecessarily processing cells with a macro and doing something
to them.

You can fix the problem for a single sheet by placing the cursor
on the cell that you want to be the cell then running the macro.
There is a test to see if the last cell would be in a merged cell and
will adjust accordingly, you will be doing this while looking at the data
so should be safe. (last updated 2006-07-05 for merged cells)

You can correct all the sheets in your workbook with a macro by
Debra Dalgleish -- Warning if the last cell is within a merged cell
on a sheet you will lose data.
to programmatically reset the last used cell (all sheets)

You might also remove empty unused sheets from your workbook.
The savings here will be minimal unless you are doing something unusual.
