"Calculate" appearing
Hello
I have 3 workbooks linked together in this order 2 linked to lookup 1 database workbook of 1 worksheet then 1 of the 2 others linked to the other. These 2 have multiple worksheets with lots of formulae in each for comparing price results at Tender and Completion of a large Construction Project to prepare a line by line Claim for Extras for Variations. My problem is, that when I load the last big workbook, "Calculate" appears in the Status bar at the bottom of all sheets in all open workbooks, even though Calculation is set to Auto. To allow me to keep working, I have to set Calculation to Manual with provision to calculate each workbook prior to Saving. (this wastes a lot of time and is fraught with lurking disasters...I've had a few Excel crashes) Using Office 2000 Excel on Win 98SE (locally) on a Pentium 500 with 256mB Ram, floating Swapfile and all the files are on our office LAN Server. Is there some limit to what Excel can do before it chokes down or should I be looking for some other glitch in the setup of the workbooks? -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC |
