Stop Excel 2002 from going onto internet?

S

Steve Ogden

When I'm connected to the internet, Excel wants to go
online everytime I open a new file. Guess I don't have
to understand why, but I do want it to stop. Sometimes,
it causes quite a delay in opening the file. I've got to
where I won't open Excel if I'm online - slows things too
much. Does anyone know how to stop Excel from going
online?

Steve,

I am guessing here, so if my thoughts are way off the mark, you have been
forewarned.

I have never heard of Excel going to the Internet when opening a new file.
But what I would be inclined to check are the default file locations.

Tools | Options | General and check the default file location. Is it
pointed towards the Internet? If so, point it somewhere more convenient on
one of your local drives.

Regards,
Kevin
