Default why does excel ask if I want to save every time?

If the workbook you opened was created in an earlier version of Excel you
will get the "save changes" message.

Save as 2007 version.

You will also get the message if you have used any volatile function(s) in
your workbook.

Could be a NOW() or TODAY()

List of volatile functions........

AREAS()
OFFSET()
CELL()
INDIRECT()
NOW()
TODAY()
RAND()

Any one or more of these would cause the workbook changes.
