Thank you - that must be it. We are using new software that uses Excel to
display/read a database (I'm not a real techie so I'm not sure how that
works) but anyway this is the change that must have created behind the scene
formulas in all files I work in now. Thank you very much for your answer.

Atlas, it likely has nothing to do with prior versions. You probably have a
workbook that has a formula in it like =NOW() or =TODAY(), both of which
"automatically update" and, in essence, change your file, which makes it ask
about saving.

I have Excel 2003 and every time you open a file, it asks you if you want
to
save it when you exit. Prior Excel versions only gave a dialogue box to
save, when changes were made to the file. Is there a way to set it so
that
it only pops up a dialogue box to save, if there were actually any
changes?
