Why would you want that to stop happening? It is Excel making sure your
calculations are up to date. You can stop it in Office button>Excel
Options>Formulas>Calculation options>manual, but you should know you're
doing it as Excel will only re-calc when you press F9

Thank you for the info. Before I do that I guess I have to observe when it
happens. It seems to take a longer with spreadsheets that have minimal
calculations. I have some large sheets with multiple VLOOKUP formulas that
open much quicker.
Again thank you for the quick reply.
