Try Unsharing the workbook, making sure the last cell is correct and save. What
happens to the size of the file?
: I have had the same problem for a while now. I have 2 people sharing a
: workbook over a local network. I also have a macro in the workbook to
: organize the rows by date.
: I have stopped my antivirus from doing a virus scan of .xls files everytime
: I save.
: I have track changes off.
: It balloons everytime there is a save done. Over months of trying to fix the
: problem, I think it is one of two things:
: 1. While saving over the network, something causes it to save incorrectly
: and enlarges the file size(sometimes takes uo tp 10 minutes to save).
: 2. 2 people using the macro. Everytime one person uses the "Organize" macro,
: it changes all 500-600 rows, which could be done a few times before
: re-saving. If that person "Organizes" three times, then saves, the file size
: might triple in size. And, if the second person does the same thing, there
: might be an increase of 6 times the original file size.
: I have been on this board for months with nobody with the same issues until
: now.
: When your file ballooned from 7 to 69 meg, that is a factor of about 10
: times. Did something get done 10 times in the book?
: Are you able to upload it to a web page for me to see if it is a similar
: problem to mine?
: I am using Excel 2003.
: If you or anybody reading has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
: I have been frustrated for months trying to fix the problem!
