If you have a file that you think shouldn't be calculating that you are able
to share then by all means send it on down and I'll happily take a look.
You'd have to take the NOSPAM bit out of my email address though.

Ken, No there are no functions that would cause the workbook to update,
such
ast date or recalculation. It doesnt happen to all of the workbooks. just
some of the and not all of the time. Some have no functions or formulars
at
all in them just simple data in columns and rows with no references from
one
cell to another. I might add that this happened to me once before when i
had
Office 97. The way I resolved it then was to create a new workbook and do
a
copy/paste from the bad one to the new one then delete the bad on. Same
data,
same formulas but it worked. After that never asked to save again unless i
really did make changes. Problem it was needless to say very time
consuming
to do that. Trying not to have to do it again but if i have to I don't
want
to wait till it happens to too many files.
