Last reviewed: January 9, 1998
Article ID: Q170746

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0
Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you create multiple maps in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Data Map remains in random access memory for each map that you create in a workbook.

CAUSE

Microsoft Data Map is a single-document program, which means it can use only one set of data at a time. Therefore one instance of Data Map is loaded into memory for each set of data (each map object) that is present in the workbook.

MORE INFORMATION

Each time you create a map in Microsoft Excel, system resources are used by the Microsoft Data Map program in memory. This may cause the system to perform more slowly.
