Because it is a shared workbook, it is keeping a record of changes that are
made. You can change how much history is maintained:

I have an excel file we are using in a workgroup, and in shared mode. The
problem is that the File has nearly doubled or tripled in size in just the
last 2 weeks. I know we have not input that much data. The file last week
was
about 8 megabytes , now it's over 25 megs. The file has many worksheets
with
links to other worksheets within the same file but I can't seem to find
out
what could be causing the file to grow so much.

Any Ideas???
