SYMPTOMS
When you run a macro that uses MS Excel 4.0 Macro (XLM) code, it takes more time to be completed than you expect.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you switch to another program (or task) in your operating system, so that Microsoft Excel is no longer running as the foreground task.

NOTE: Some Excel add-ins, such as Solver, use XLM code internally. If you create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro that calls one of these add-ins, you may also experience these symptoms.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

STATUS
