XL7: Quattro Pro 5.0 for Windows (.wb1) File Opens Slowly

• Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0, when you open a Quattro Pro for Windows, version 5.0 file (a file with the extension .wb1) that contains more than 50 worksheets in the workbook, it may take Microsoft Excel a long time to convert and open the file.

Note that this problem has also been reported to occur with workbooks that contain fewer than 50 worksheets.

CAUSE

This slow file conversion process is due to the inefficiency of the record searching algorithms in Microsoft Excel.
