We all run similar macros and across a Microsoft network. On some machines
when within word2003 you go to File, Open and point to a specific "M:"
network drive, it takes for ever to view the files on the drive and on other
systems you have instant access of the same drive letter. However if you view
a similar drive e.g. G:\ which is exactly the same as M: it happens quickly.
Our IT people tell me it is the new macros but even if you disable the
macros, it still the same. Is there a limitation on the number of folders
that one can create on one drive or not or perhaps any other ideas?

That's the sort of excuse IT people always use when they haven't got a
f***ing clue what's going on. You've got a network problem.

The computer was actually trying to connect to one or more mapped network
share which was nonexistent and therefore it was doing a query to the
unavailable drive before connecting to the correct one. Thanx, problem solved.
