Cheers Dave, yes you are correct. The modified date does change and go back
if I dont save.

Just need to sort out the corruption problem, and why the file keeps
corrupting.

Cheers

Paul

When you open the file, excel always changes that modified date. If you close
without saving, it'll be changed back.

But I don't have a guess about the corruption problem--but I don't think you'll
find that it's related to the date stuff that you've noticed.

Hi Guys,

I have a group of users whos speadsheets seem to get corrupted quite often.
The offending sheets cannot be opened in excel, it hangs at the start of
opening the file,cpu goes upto 100% and just sits there almost like its in a
loop.

The file can be opened in excel viewer. I notice that the workbook also
changes the modified date in explorer as soon as its opened? If I use any
excel workbooks I have, the modified date is only changed when I save the
document,

Any ideas as to why the modified date is being changed on opening? I think
this could be what is causing the corruption.

Thanks in Advance for your help
