Need help with slow AutoFilter

C

cmfuld

I have a file that will be distributed to about 400 people that
displays data that they will need to filter and print out. The
worksheet contains about 36000 records. I am using an autofilter, but
my problem is that the autofilter takes about 3 seconds to apply, but
about 4 minutes to take off. Each time a user autofilters, they
should get about 100 records.

Manual Calculation is turned on, but I can't figure out how to make
the removal of the filter any faster.

I am using Excel 2003, and we are not currently using Sharepoint
globally, so the only way I know of to communicate the data to each
person is by distributing the Excel file.
