DELAY OPENING EXCEL FILES FROM SHORTCUT

[Arturo Meneses]

When I try to open excell file through a shortcut on my desktop,
I have a +/- 15 seconds delay before the file actually opens.
If I open excel previously and open a file it does so immediately
I would appreciate help on this matter.
I have a very fast computer and 1meg RAM

Sincerely,
Arturo Meneses

There are a number of reasons for a delay of this type.

Take a look at your status bar when Excel starts to open. Mine has shows all my addins being loaded and usually some type of quick virus scan as well.

Dear sir:
Thanks for your reply.
After I click the shortcut I get a 10-15 sec delay and then excel pops open with a blank screen , a few seconds later the screen is populated.
The status bar from the beginning shows "' ready" and nothing else.
Any other ideas?

Arturo

Dear Group,
Just to let anybody who had o has a similar problem to do the OBVIOUS and
most simple thing that NOBODY recommended and that is : REINSTALL ( REPAIR)
Office 2003.
Now everything is perfect, files open in 3 seconds .
