It sounds like the calculate option is calculating the whole xl space and not just a single sheet.
If the only thing your action button is doing is calcualting the sheet then this is v easy to do yourself.

Make sure you have the tm1.xla loaded
Start recording a macro
press shift+f9
Stop Recording

Assign the macro you just created to your own button / drawing button / short cut.

(or just put a piece of text at the top of your table to say press shift+f9 to calculate)!

Cheers
