DELAYS when opening spreadsheets containing regular Links

[Carlos]

Would installing SERVICE Packs possibly help the linking and calculating
issues?

I saw some things in google about it but not sure if I should proceed.

Is it possible to adjust settings related to linking on a "global all Excel
files" setting?

Did you encounter issues like Excel Freezing also?

Thanks
Carlos

Carlos,
Installing the service pack can't help. There have been some performance
improvements, but they may not all apply to your situation.

As I said, the linking options are workbook specific, probably because
Microsoft (rightly) assumed that most people would not want all workbooks to
work the same way with regards to those settings.

I've not seen Excel 2007 freeze up totally except in one or two rare
instances, but sometimes it seems it may have locked up entirely due to the
time involved in recalculating or redrawing charts. See these two recent
posts by just one new user regarding this type of thing

Obviously those aren't the only ones, just 2 recent ones I had references to.

Wish I had more for you, but I really don't.
