Office 2003 - Saving in Excel Rogerman 5/12/2007 5:28:00 PM If I open an existing Excel spreadsheet and do nothing more than close it, I am asked if I want to save the changes I have made when I haven't made any. Can this question be stopped apart from when changes have actually been made?

Re: Office 2003 - Saving in Excel "Bernard Liengme" <bliengme[ at ]stfx.TRUENORTH.ca> 5/12/2007 7:00:26 PM The workbook may have volatile formulas that recalculate whenever the book is opened. For example =TODAY(), =NOW() Or the book may have been produced in an older version - Excel always recalculates under these conditions. Nothing has to actually change; as long as a recalc. occurs you will get the message on closing without saving. You cannot stop either of these. By the way: there are Excel newsgroups for Excel questions: news:microsoft.public.excel is one best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Rogerman" <Rogerman[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7B7043DA-DC06-4339-9BDF-F0C51A18A827[ at ]microsoft.com...
