Tom,

Thanks for your thoughts, as always.

I'm copying individual sheets into new blank spreadsheets, not .csv 
files, which would accomplish nothing.

And, yes, they ARE doing "tons of calculations". That appears to be the 
problem - maybe. Alternatively, it appears that moving things around get 
the program pretty confused pretty quickly.

See my next post, to Stuart, for an updated status report - good news.
