    Scroll Bar (Form Control) is lagging when scrolling

    I have a list of 50 items and 6 columns of information within the list of 50 items. I inserted a Scroll Bar (Form Control), and below is the information I entered:

    Current Value: 1
    Minimum Value: 1
    Maximum Value: 27
    Incremental Change: 5
    Page change: 0

    Cell link: 'Supply Chain Data'!$K$1

    3-D Shading is checked.

    I used this formula

    for all cells attached to the scroll bar. The data that the =OFFSET formula pulls from is on another sheet within the same workbook, and that sheets gets its information from another workbook on a network drive. I have tried pasting values only into the sheet thinking that maybe pulling the data from another workbook over the network was causing the lag, but I still get the same result.

    What's odd is that the lag is random, sometimes it works flawlessly when I use the scroll bar, and other time it lags bad. I have tired only having 1 workbook open at a time, and that doesn't help either.

    If there is no way to fix the lag is there another way I can display the information in Excel that is similar to the scroll bar?

    I sometimes do interactive graphs with slidebars and my conclusion is that ActiveX scrollbar is much better at updating then Form controls.

    My problem is that I have to use Form Controls because the workbook is used by Mac users, and ActiveX won't work on Mac's.
