Mike,

Are you familiar with VBA and using the VBE.

If so, open the VBE, display the Immediate window, enter the following line
of code and hit enter:

msgbox application.DisplayAlerts

If a message box pops up that says "FALSE" then enter the following line and
hit enter.

application.DisplayAlerts = True

If the message box said "TRUE", then I don't know what else it could
be.........sorry!

HTH,

Conan

Hi ya, I'm using Excel 2003 and recently have noticed that I do not get
the
Save prompt dialog box each time I close the spreadsheet after doing some
editing.

I just tested it again by opening a blank spreadsheet, entered random
data,
saved it and closed it. I then reopened the file, entered some random
data
and when I click on Close I do not get the prompt to save.

I've checked in Tools, Options and looked around the usual tabs but no
luck
and compared what I have selected with my colleagues


Can anyone help.
