Thanks! That was exactly what I suspected. When I went over from MS Office to OpenOffice.org I had MS Office '97 and Windows 98 or Windows 2000. One of the first things I noticed was that OpenOffice.org was sooo sloooow, and I think when using AutoFilter was the first time I thought that this is really annoyingly slow. My thought was that if it is this slow already at 1000 or so lines (the file grows every day - the original that is, not this test version), how slow will it be in a couple of yearas when there are maybe 10000 rows or 65000 rows? Well, 65000 rows in this case would maybe happen in like 50-100 years or so, but maybe there could be other spreadsheets out there, growing faster…
Well, I know, maybe I should use Base for this, but that doesn't mean that OpenOffice.org doesn't need to be faster.
