.xlsm file loads solver, and I don't know why

[JohnTravolski]

Every time I open a particular .xlsm file, it loads solver.xlam and it takes quite a while load while the file is opening. I don't need solver, so I'm trying to figure out how to disable it. I don't see it considered as "active" in the settings:

However, when I open up the vba editor, I do see this:

However, when I click or double click on the highlighted item in the references section, nothing happens.

There is some VBA code in the project that used solver at one point, but it is now commented out.

What do I need to do to this .xlsm file so that it no longer loads solver.xlam at boot?

In the vba window check if the reference to "Solver" is ticked: Menu /Tools /Reference...
If ticked then untick it

It was ticked. Unticking it fixed the problem. Thanks.
