File is slow opening

[JHL]

Hello
I'm using Excel 2000,

I have a spreadsheet with several sheets and each has a subtotal summary
report. Subtotals were done using the Menu selection: Data -- Subtotal --
make selections.

Only one of the spreadsheets has a large report, over 30K rows. After I
save and close the report if I need to re-open it takes a long time to
re-open. It's as if Excel is redoing the subtotaling routines. Is there any
way to maintain the summaries, but speed up the opening of the spreadsheet
file?

Thanks

What about switching to manual caluculation ? Be warned tho ... this can be
confusing ... you enter things, expect the answer in the target cells, and
have forgotten to recalculate.

Sorry, I should have stated I did try changing to manual calculation w/o
success.
