I have a minor problem. I use Excel 2003 and I work with a specific file that
is 40 megabyte. Everytime I open it, it takes about 1 minute to load.
Apparently, the formulas and functions that are in there keep re-calculating
every time I open. Is there a way I can make it spend less time during the
inialization process/opening file? Thanks.

Set/Save the book's calc mode to Manual. Open it directly.

If you are currently in an Excel session, close/save all open books first,
then open a new book & switch the calc mode to Manual (or ensure that it's at
Manual mode before you click File Open to open this particular book.

In books set to manual mode, press F9 to recalc whenever desired.
