I have one workbook with 27,144 defined names, when I go to pull up the
properties on the document, it works fine. Another workbook that is
essentially the same thing as far as how it's setup and what it does, just
the data is different, I have in it, 53,774 defined names, which when
attempting to bring up the document properties, it just hangs, RAM usage
keeps climbing up and have to end the program via the task manager.

Excel opens with base usage of 26MB
Workbook with 27,144 defined names as the only workbook open has the Excel
object using 48MB (Task Manager) and storage usage is 10.2MB
Workbook with 53,774 defined names as the only workbook open has the Excel
object using 59MB (Task Manager) and storage usage is 10.6MB
Excel open with no workbooks other than maybe Book#.xls that Excel opens
automatically uses 26MB (Task Manager)

This is just one more thing that has me questioning if I really have ran
into a limitation of the number of defined names one can use within Excel
(almost all of these names are being used for ranges)
