Hi everyone,<br />
I have an issue when using certain large excel files - Excel locks up and the only solution I have so far is to completely remove certain add-ins from the system. It appears when I click on certain pages I get the flashing formula bar and hourglass and the system goes into a death roll. The only way out is to open task manager and kill the process.<br />
<br />
Is there some way I can completely disable VBA temporarily so that other users who need to work with these add-ins can also use these large files?<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Temporarily halt all VBA (add-ins etc) on an excel file

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
