What version of excel? If it's 2003 or 2007 make sure they don't have the stupid Microsoft office file validation add-in installed.

I have seen some erratic response times from XP clients on 2008 R2 servers. -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Everett [mailto:sh...@tandac.com] Sent: June-27-12 2:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Slow Excel Files Hi All, I have a Windows 2008R2 file server at the far end of a WAN link. There is a 20ms ping time between the workstations and the server. This is pretty constant. The file server contains a lot of Excel files. Different versions, some with macros some without. Some files are quite old, some are newer. Opening some of these files over the WAN link can take upwards of a minute for a 1MB file. Other similarly sized files will open in 6 seconds. At this point I'm looking for a few thoughts on where I can start my investigations.
