    Takes way to long to save.

    Hello everyone i am new to this Forum so let me just say thanks in advance for any help I may receive here. I have had a workbook that ive used for work for 2 years now. The file has always only taken a few seconds to save. I exhausted all excel had to offer with formulas and have tried a simple VBA function. That code worked great but it slowed my saves to about 1 min . So I removed the code and the module but it still takes that long to save. I tried other excel files and just by opening VBE causes my save time to go way up. Makes no sense to me so I thought I would leave it to the experts. I would like to attach the file but its to large to post here (3 MB).

    Large files with many formulas and formatting can be slow to save, just opening the VBE should not affect save time. Does the file use a lot of array formulas? It's difficult to assess without the workbook, you could use a file share site like www.yousendit.com and post the download link. Zip the file first.
    Hope that helps.

    I would try CodeCleaner by AppsPro.

    I have a 4MB template for pricing that I instance regularly, and it takes about 10s to save. It is loaded with formulas and VBA, but the formatting variations are deliberately modest. What about yours?

    That is a great idea! I have the file shared at this address:

    http://workspace.office.live.com/?id...hhcnRlci5uZXQA

    I hope that link works. The file name is called Old_Forms_Master

    Hi

    Had a bit of a look and was astonished to find 291 sheets.

    Just for the heck of it, I started deleting sheets and found save time decreased as the number of sheets decreased.

    On a quick look, many of the sheets seem to be in the same format, with just a minor difference. Any chance you could reduce the number of sheets?
