Client has a large folder with a lot of spreadsheets and subfolders: 3685
sheets in 172 subfolders. The top level folder and subfloders reside on a
windows 2003 server.
If, he opens excel 2000, and then does a file/open in the top level folder
the first time, Excel hangs. The end result is a "not responding" from task
manager. If he blows excel away and then restarts excel and does the fame
file/open, the folder/file list inside the top level folder is presented
immediately.
Windows explorer has no problem opening the top level folder and displaying
the subfolders underneath, and double clicking on a spreadsheet within a
subfolder opens the spreadsheet for him.
I can't find anything in the knowledge base that explains this issue.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what the issue is?
Thanks in advance.
