I have been very disappointed in what I've seen of Excel 2007. I have
numerous worksheets that are very important, and I've been doing nothing for
days but recovering them, trying to convert them, and waiting on them to save
to disk.
Obviously it has been extremely unproductive.
I have converted from Excel 2003 a workbook that has less than 10
worksheets, all with lists, has protected sheets, it is modified every time
it opens because it uses random number generation, and has a password
access. I have run it under compatibility mode and also converted it to
native mode. I can almost never open it access other applications, and return
to it that it doesn't have to be autorecovered. When I finally save it, I
really wonder what's been lost.
I have another very important workbook that contains in excess of 100
worksheets. It is the front end of a VBA application. Again, I have run it in
compatibility mode, and also converted it to the macro enabled mode. It's
almost impossible to just save it. It again is constantly being autorecovered.
I've changed autosave to 30 minutes, because Excel shows as not responding,
however in the Task manager, I can see it's probably doing an autosave, and
CPU performance is around 50% for the process. I have noticed that the native
file size is significantly smaller, but the time to load or save is
significantly longer. I would trade time for disk space anyday.
Any suggestions? I'm leary of converting any other work, and seriously
considering returning to Excel 2003. Surely these types of things showed up
prior to release. Is there a bug list or problem list that is available for
the product?
Any help would be appreciated.
