Best guess is that you have a volatile formula somewhere in the file.
Volatile formulas are formulas like Now(), Rand() or such that recalculate
every time a calcuation runs. So when you open the book, it gets calculated
and even if the volatile function returns the exact same value as it started
with XL is going to think that the file needs to be saved...
