Hello,

I built a macro using excel 97 that does a subtotal of a list of 100 - 5000
rows x 6 columns and later removes the subtotal. This macro took
approximately 15 to 30 seconds to run using excel 97 under a win 98
platform. We finally upgraded to win xp and excel 2002. As soon as the
macro runs the line "Selection.RemoveSubtotal", the whole thing reduces to a
crawl and I end up having to blow off excel or it will sit for over 1/2
hour.

I tried to run the macro to the point where the problem line exists and then
do the remove subtotal manually but I receive the same result.

Can you see any reason for this problem?

Thanks,

Jerry
