Prompt to Save Message
When I close out of spreadsheets in Excel 2007, I am sometimes prompted with
the "Do you want to save" question, but sometimes I'm not. I want to have this on all the time and receive the prompt whenever I close a spreadsheet that I haven't saved. Any ideas on what's causing this? |

Prompt to Save Message
Some function are "volatile" which means they are calculated when the
file is opened (as well as with every calculation). NOW(), for example, is calculated at open so that the time is current. There are about a dozen function that are volatile. If your sheet contain such a function and it calculates at open, Excel sees this as a change and thus prompts to save when the workbook is closed, even if you didn't change anything yourself.

I understand that, and I'm fine with all prompts to save. The problem is
that sometimes that prompt doesn't occur, when I want it to occur all the time. Under what instance would the program cause it not to appear?
