I thought it could be that also, so I created a new spreadsheet to test it,
and no, it still asks if I want to save changes. I will check Mr.
Thomlinson's question about a possible addin. Other than that, I am at a
loss. It's not affecting how excel runs, it's just annoying. Thanks for the
response.

Excel 2003 notices that a workbook was written in an earlier version of Excel
and asks if you want to re-save in current version.

Is this the message you are getting?

If so, save the workbook once and the message will stop for that workbook.

I asked this question before but realize I was a little vague in my details.

How can I bypass or disable the warning in Excel 2003 that asks if I want to
"save changes before closing" when in fact I have made no changes. I have NO
formulas in the file that would cause an automatic update.

I did an experiment:
We have a computer with an older version of excel and I opened an excel file
on a shared server, made no changes to the file, and then closed it. No
warning appeared. I came to my computer, (with the new Excel 2003), opened
the same excel file, made no changes, and closed it. Sure enough the warning
alert appeared asking me if I wanted to save changes. This happens on every
single excel file I open. Every one!
I am wondering if it's not something in the way excel opens. Please someone
help.
