Excel Automatic Calculation makes Excel the Active Application

Hi,
I share a spreadsheet with other users at work. The spreadsheet has links to
Thomson Financial Network and pulls quotes in real-time. When Excel is set
to automatic calculation, I cannot work in another application without
having Excel pop to the fore front. I can be writing an e-mail in Outlook
and every few seconds, Outlook looses its active status. Excel becomes the
active application. I have to click on Outlook or use Alt-Tab to switch back
to Outlook. If I switch Excel to manual calculation, I do not experience
this issue. Other users can use Excel in automatic calculation and use the
same spreadsheet without problem.
So somehow on my machine, updating the spreadsheet automatically in Excel,
makes Excel the active application.
Do you have any suggestions? I would rather not have to press F9 for
calculation to take place.
Thank you,
C
