Don, I had not considered turning off the auto calculation feature and that worked. There are no delays when entering my data. the key to calculate manually is F9.
Thanks a lot. This will make things faster for me...I just have to remember to hit F9 before printing out my results. Thanks, Kurt >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/22/2008 10:34 AM >>> I have not run into this lately, but I did have this problem 20 years ago when I was working on SDI (Reagan's Star Wars). The simulation calculations were very complex and the computers were very slow. We later used a APL minicomputer specialized for massive matrix calculations. In Excel there is a way to turn off automatic calculation. Usually Excel recalculates the entire workbook every time a new entry is entered into a cell. You can turn this off in the Excel Settings under the Formulas tab. There used to be a key to press to have Excel perform the calculation on demand. I can not recall the key stroke off the top of my head. Maybe, someone else on the list knows the answer to this? This would allow you to enter all your data without delay!
