XL2000: Excel4 Macro Runs Slowly When Excel Is in the Background (215764)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q215764 SYMPTOMS
When you run a macro that uses MS Excel 4.0 Macro (XLM) code, it takes more time to be completed than you expect.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you switch to another program (or task) in your operating system, so that Microsoft Excel is no longer running as the foreground task.
NOTE: Some Excel add-ins, such as Solver, use XLM code internally. If you create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro that calls one of these add-ins, you may also experience these symptoms.
