Opening/importing data from database takes forever after upgrading office!

[Johan sydling]

Hello.

I recently reinstalled a users computer and upgraded his
office version from 2000 to xp. Now when he imports data
from a database it takes forever. It can take several
minutes and before the reinstallation the operation only
took seconds.

What could be wrong? I did the same on his coworkers
computer with the same result so there must be something
that can solve the problem. I just can't figure it out.

The run windows 2000 sp4.

Please help. :^)

It never hurts to empty the windows temp folder (with excel closed), but it may
not help.

You may want to take a look at these two sites
(Charles Williams and David McRitchie):

If none of that helps, you may want to post back with more details--what
database program and how you're importing it.
