Very slow opening spreadsheets over LAN

[smerf]

It's quite odd. I can open the same spreadsheet locally and can instantly
edit it, but if I open it over our LAN, it shows the first page but acts
frozen for 30 - 60 seconds before Ican click on any cells and edit them.

I have searched KB articles with no solutions to be found (yep, tried the
Policy Suppression registry edit too).

No speed problems on the LAN otherwise.

HELP!!!

Hi smerf,

Don't know for sure but usually that sort of problem occurs
when the file is lodged on the server and not on your C:drive.
Copying the file to your C:drive will give you an immediate fix
but is no good if everyone needs to access the file.
Maybe you need to talk to your IT people about your network
connection speed.

I am our it people .

I never did figure it out. But, I was damned tired of dealing with it so,
out of sheer desperation, I created a new user profile on the affected PC
and deleted the old user profile.

All seems to be fine now. Go figure!

I don't know what the specific problem was, but I know how to fix it now.

Thanks for your post!
