Myself and some other network users are experiencing slow opening of Excel files. While it's mainly Excel, I've noticed that I have the same issue with Access. The excel files are not large in size. The slow opening is the same regardless of whether there is content in the cells.

 

Troubleshooting steps performed so far include: creating a new profile and running a repair on Office. Neither step has resolved the issue. Anything else to try?

How long is a string sort of statement.. So they are 10KB or 10MB?  Best to give context when you say something is not large..

 

Are the users wifi or wired, what speed?  So they have no issues with speed if they copy the file to their local system.  Is it then slow to open even when on local file system of the users machine?  How fast is copy of file take?  Non excel or access file?

Might help if we know what version of office your using and what OS your on, etc. ;)  Above is example of 2003 office when OFV was installed caused some issues - so really need to know more details to even guess what could be the problem.

      Would be cool if the user can drag it around like a widget. Set a boundary so that it cannot go outside the monitor.

    • Windows 11 blocks Google Chrome due to a Microsoft safety feature, fix out

      My kids each had a Microsoft account that could log into the family computers, but they did not have admin access, and we didn't have a general guest account or anything like that, so it worked pretty well. You are right, with enough technical knowledge, you can find ways around anything. I still remember I was helping my 10-year-old son with something on his computer and noticed that his account had admin rights. I asked how he did it, and he said he found the BitLocker recovery key, decrypted the drive, then booted a Linux USB and edited the security hive. I told him that if he figured all that out on his own that he deserved admin rights :-)
