Calculations run slow in Excel 2002 SP-1

[Ash]

Hi,

I currently have 2 versions of excel on 2 different machines. The
machine with Excel 2000 runs the workbook fine when automatic
calculation is turned on. However, the machine with Excel 2002 runs
the same macros very slow.

What seems to be taking long is the formulas in the cells. Everytime a
cell is updated it automatically recalculates the sheet and takes very
long. In Excel 2000, with the same settings it takes a fraction of the
time. Very confused with this problem.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks

Ash

I frame my macros with (assuming you're not using UDFs):

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
....
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
