Excel Add-in connecting to Analyts to refresh views issue

[jimicron]

Why does Analyst attempt to connect to Cognos every time we refresh an analyst view.  This started to occur when we moved to Cognos 8. Several of us have this problem and it really slows down our process.  A couple of our associates do not have this problem so it seems there may be something in the connection setup.
   I regularly have Cognos open as well as excel and when I have made any changes to Cognos I will purposely Log off and then log back on if I know something has structurally changed.  This is from my Retrieve Excel for Hyperion experience.  I'm not sure if these spreadsheets have multiple views or just one view.
