Good to be in touch again - thanks
I am at home so cannot test the volatile functions etc but I believe
it
is
sharing that causes the problem because I did not have the "do you
want
to
save changes dialog box" when I made a copy of the the file and
turned
off
the sharing.
Any ideas?

Do you have any of these volatile functions in your workbook?
=AREAS()
=INDEX() *
=OFFSET()
=CELL()
=INDIRECT()
=ROWS()
=COLUMNS()
=NOW()
=TODAY()
=RAND()
* may not be volatile in all versions
These evaluate with each calculation. And cause excel to think
your
workbook
has changed.
And excel likes to recalculate workbooks created in earlier
versions.
Is
this
the case in your situation?
======
And as a test, you may want to unshare the workbook (or a copy of
the
workbook)
to see if it's sharing that's causing the trouble.

Hi
I am using the sharing facilty to enable multiple simultaneous
editing
access to a workbook.
The problem that I want to solve is that the workbook always
seems
to
open
in "thiswork.saved = false" mode i.e. the workbook always
prompts
the
user
to save when closing even if no changes have been made.
Apart form using VB* (which is my curent workaround), is there a
solution to
this?
Thanks
Tim
* the reason I want o avoid Vb is that I am tryiing to eliminate
extra
steps
and including VB would mean users get the "enable macros" screen
each
time
they open it - and outr IT Dept don't allow us to turn this off
on a
permanent basis :)
