Default Recalculation Method

[Eric S]

Can anyone tell me how to set Excel so that when any
worksheet is opened, the calculation method is set to
manual.

Hi Eric

One way would be to set a macro in the Workbook Open event

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End Sub

Right Click on a Sheet Tab of the Workbook
Choose View Code
Double Click on ThisWorkbook and paste the macro into the right hand pane
Save the Workbook

Now, whenever you open that workbook, calculation will be set to manual

Is there any way so that all worksheets opened and created
are set to manual recalc? I would think there is a
registry setting to do this.

Excel takes the Calc mode of the first workbook opened during a session.
There is no registry setting to control this.

I would suggest sticking Roger's code into your Personal.xls which opens first
when you start Excel.
