I asked this question before but realize I was a little vague in my details.

How can I bypass or disable the warning in Excel 2003 that asks if I want to
"save changes before closing" when in fact I have made no changes. I have NO
formulas in the file that would cause an automatic update.

I did an experiment:
We have a computer with an older version of excel and I opened an excel file
on a shared server, made no changes to the file, and then closed it. No
warning appeared. I came to my computer, (with the new Excel 2003), opened
the same excel file, made no changes, and closed it. Sure enough the warning
alert appeared asking me if I wanted to save changes. This happens on every
single excel file I open. Every one!
I am wondering if it's not something in the way excel opens. Please someone
help.
