XL: DataMap in Memory for Each Map Created in Workbook

ID: Q170746

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0
• Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you create multiple maps in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Data Map remains in random access memory for each map that you create in a workbook.

CAUSE

Microsoft Data Map is a single-document program, which means it can use only one set of data at a time. Therefore one instance of Data Map is loaded into memory for each set of data (each map object) that is present in the workbook.

MORE INFORMATION

Each time you create a map in Microsoft Excel, system resources are used by the Microsoft Data Map program in memory. This may cause the system to perform more slowly.
