Thanks, but that did not work.
Safe mode -- did not get prompted.
Tried Excel.exe /RegServer did not work.
Just got a little closer --- Unistalled the SAP Business ONE Outlook
Integration and the problem went away.... Boy does this smell like a registry
issue.

Try opening excel in safe mode:

close excel
windows start button|run
excel /safe

Then test it by entering "hello" in A1 and see if you get prompted.

If you do, then I'd bet you do have a macro running.

Chip Pearson has some notes that you may want to read to help isolate the
problem:

Have you come up with any conclusions?
I have three laptops all expeirencing the same symptoms.
I am starting to believe that there is a registry entry that is set wrong.
For instance, I can take a workbook open it in one machine make a change and
then close it and it will not save nor propmt to save changes, If I open this
workbook on anther users machine I do get prompted.
Even a clean fresh documnet that i type HELLO in the first space, "will not
prompt to save change on close"
I have not been able to find any signs of macros running.

I've never seen excel not ask when it thought the
workbook was changed.

(A developer could hide this question with a small macro--
could that have
happened?)

My first guess is you really saved your data--but you
saved it to a different
location. Any chance????

Over the last couple of days, I've lost changes to some
excel files because it is no longer asking me if I want
to
save the changesI think it used to) when I close the
workbook. This isn't the same as AutoSave. What might I
have inadvertentely changed.
