I thought I would update everyone from my post prior.

I engaged the help of two of our top IT experts at my company.  They talked with other "experts" and in the end they came back with....."Sorry, but we cannot figure this one out."   

The odd thing is that this does NOT affect other MS programs or apps.   I have tested this over and over and it works just fine in Word, Publisher, or even PowerPoint.  No problem opening up an active hyperlink.  Heck, I can even print my SPREASHEET in Excel over to an Adobe PDF and guess what?  That opens flawlessly without the delays! No errors.

This is ONLY happening in Excel and ONLY since that last big update they had for Office 365.

I am learning to just live with it and hope that one day down the road MS figures this out and does fix it.  But when all these big shots and experts with Microsoft and Excel specifically.....can't figure this out?    I don't have a lot of hope left on this fix.   But I sure wish someone from MS would pay attention to this and figure it out.
