Why does Excel ask to Save on Exit?
When I close a couple of excel files it always asks me wheterh I want to
save, even if I have made no changes to the file (i.e. just viewed it). Other files just close without the prompt. Is there a way to control how/whether Excel asks you? Thx. |

You may have some volatile functions in those files - these include NOW,
TODAY and INDIRECT. These will re-calculate whenever the file is opened, so Excel thinks that the file has changed, even if you do nothing to the file. Hope this helps.

From the time you open till the time you close the worksheet the time has changed therefore the save question. Therefore no need to save. |

Is this true for a date function in the footer of the document as well? Thanks.

I am no expert but I think it applies to any time you have the date or time set to automatically adjust. IE: =TODAY() OR=NOW() "John" wrote: "JRSNHECI" wrote: When I close a couple of excel files it always asks me wheterh I want to save, even if I have made no changes to the file (i.e. just viewed it).

Even if you double click on any cell, although without making any changes,
the system would ask you to save the file on exit. -- Kind Regards, Satti Charvak Only an Excel Enthusiast "JRSNHECI" wrote: When I close a couple of excel files it always asks me wheterh I want to save, even if I have made no changes to the file (i.e. just viewed it).
