I have macros within many excel workbooks that open files on another server,
extract the data I want and save it in my "master" workbook. They take a
while to run because of network speed. I believe we've started to see an
interaction with Communicator in that when we send IM's when the macro is
running, the macro stops. Has anyone else seen this issue and what do you
do to get around it (besides shutting down communicator)

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt
