Default Linked File Size

Hi there,
My original file (excel form) size was just 31kb. I then added a simple
dependant list in one part of the form and put vlookup formula at the end of
the form and the file size has shot up to 8,450kb!. The vlookup links to an
incredibly large list in a separate workbook which pulls in the customer name
which I guess is the cause of this. What do you advise to reduce the size of
my new revised form. I was thinking that I should put the vlookup formula as
a macro to create the link - pull in the data then break the link but dunno.
The formula is currently
vlookup(C16&D31,'list.xls!A:K,11,0)
Many thanks for your help.
Teddy
