Excel does not respond for hours, after opening the file

Hi all,
i have a severe problem with an excel file that does not
react after opening it. I'm using Excel 2K on on a Windows
2K platform. The file contains quite a lot of repetetive
logic. I do not know whether Excel updates all the
formulas when opening the file but the responding time is
about an hour, often more. The atypic part in it is that
Excel does exactly the same thing on every other desktop
that we tested. All in all the file contains approx. 3000
fields filled with formulas conatining some
convoluted "indirect" queries. I assume the Excel failure
could be related to the complexity of those formulas,
despite the fact that some machine have up to 1GB RAM.
Maybe someone has had a similar failuer and could give me
some good hints to correct this problem.
Thanks and regards.
