Excel 2000 macro for page format slow
HI all -
I have a laptop with Windows XP professional and Office 2000. At other times I had Office XP and Office 2003 installed but have removed those via Add/Remove programs and also gone to the file system as well as the registry to remove traces of Office XP/Office 2003. I have also removed and re-installed Office 2000 as well as the SP-3. Anyway, I have a macro I had created and saved as an add-in to do several Page Setup actions. This macro ran in about 20 seconds before all of my upgrades/changes. Now it takes about 2-3 minutes. My other machine (PC) has Windows XP Professional and Office 2000 (SP-3) and the macro still takes 20 seconds as expected after the SP-3 update. I even upgraded the laptop from 256MB to 512MB memory to match the PC but the laptop is still slow with the macro. I notice that when I look at task manager while running the macro on the laptop, in the programs tab it shows 2 instances of my excel file (but only one EXCEL.EXE process). But the two instances only come up when I run the macro on the laptop and not on the PC. (And if I just open the file on the laptop without running the macro it just has one instance of the file.) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I had seen and tried several remedies for slow Excel 2000 after SP-3 update. I suspect that something about the Office 2003 and Office XP is still hanging around and causing probs. I have also gone to the macro and re-saved and deployed the add-in but still no luck. Or is there a better way other than the macro/add-in approach to format an Excel spreadsheet? Thanks! S |
