Hi,

I have an issue, i use excel mostly for importing data but lately i notice that after i have imported the data and all macros have stopped every few minutes excel will lock up and looks like it is refreshing, also when i go to close and save the workbook it takes 2 minutes or more to close, it may be an issue with my pc but i thought i would check here first, here are the macros i am running.

Code: 
Public Function ExecuteWebRequest(url As String) As String
    Dim oXHTTP As Object
    Set oXHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
    oXHTTP.Open "GET", url, False
    oXHTTP.send
    ExecuteWebRequest = oXHTTP.responseText
    Set oXHTTP = Nothing
End Function

Code: 
Public Function outputtext(text As String)
Dim MyFile As String, fnum As String
        MyFile = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\temp.txt"
        fnum = FreeFile()
        Open MyFile For Output As fnum
        Print #fnum, text
        Close #fnum
End Function

Code: 
Function GetAddress(HyperlinkCell As Range)
    GetAddress = Replace _
    (HyperlinkCell.Hyperlinks(1).Address, "mailto:", "")
End Function

Code: 
Sub clear()
Sheets("Selections").Select
Range("A5:I20000").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G2").Value = 0
End Sub

Code: 
Sub Start()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Sheets("Selections").Range("G2").Value <> 0 And Sheets("Selections").Range("G2").Value = Sheets("Selections").Range("G3").Value Then End
Sheets("Selections").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Resize(1, 1).Value _
= Sheets("Selections").Range("D3").Value
Sheets("Meetings").Select
Range("A1:P500").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Meetings
End Sub

Code:

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Sort by date Sort by votes
is your autosave set at 2 minutes

close should generate a save

your clear sub could be written like
Code: 
Sub clear()
Sheets("Selections").Range("A5:I20000").ClearContents
Range("G2").Value = 0
End Sub

do you have a lot of cf or volatile formulas

are your sheet ends where you expect them (CTRL + END)

Auto save is set to 10 minutes.

The clear macro is a manual one and isn't used often

Honestly very little formulas, i did try the CTRL+End and on one page it went to 30,000 where i am using a sum formula that counts to 10,000, could that be the issues, as i record data it adds a row of numbers that need to be calculated, as i never know how many rows to sum i just have it sum from 5 to 10,000 even if there is only a couple hundred lines used at that time.
