Excel File Taking Forever to Open

[MEAD5432]

I am trying to open a file that is only 462KB and Excel just hangs. The
program ends up becoming non-responsive and I have to close it.

It doesn't have any problem opening any other file, just this specific one.
I have tried opening from inside Excel as well as double-clikcing on the file
itself.

I have "Ignore other applications" checked in options.

I am using Office 2000 in XP SP2.

Just a quick addition - Excel asks if I want to disable the macros in the
file. There shouldn't be any macros but I have tried both enabling and
disabling.

Not sure if 2000 has this feature, but in Excel 2003's menu you can
click >Help >Detect and Repair. This may help.

If you have any Module sheets in VBA excel will ask if you want to enable a
macro even when you have no macros. You need to delete the Module to get the
message from appearing.

That didn't work out. Still taking forever. Thanks for the suggestion.

I checked the VBA page to see if there were any modules. There is the list
of three (Module 1-3), but they don't have any script in them. Would there
be someplace else where that macro or module be hiding?
