Nope, Its not a network issue. Happens everytime in every copy of Excel 2007
I use! It truly annoying. An no, the setting for XP does not work in Vista.

Why do you launch Excel and automatically generate a new workbook?
(whether used or not?) Or, why do you open a "New" workbook? When you
come to close Excel it doesn't know if you want to save the new file
or not, so it asks you. If you want to avoid the question, as you have
discovered, then don't open a new workbook if you don't need it.

This relates to Excel 2007 and seems to have started maybe about a week or so
ago. I never had this problem before. It is a nuisance and frustrating to
have to click on "No" in the dialog box when I simply want to exit Excel. It
now happens whenever I have first launched Excel 2007 (a process that
automatically generates a blank, new workbook titled "Book1") and then have
opened a preexisting workbook, or when I have started Excel by clicking on a
preexisting workbook, then opened a "New" workbook (which is titled "Book1"),
saved and closed any and all workbooks other than the new "Book1" (which I
have not used at all), and then try to exit Excel. It may be noteworthy that
this does not happen if I simply start Excel by clicking on a preexisting
workbook and then exit Excel without having made any changes to that
workbook. It seems to occur only when "Book1" (or, I suppose, a "Book2,"
etc.) is involved.
