why excel 2003 always asks to save or not
When I open, see, and close an .xls file, excel 2003 always asks
whether to save. Why is this annoying message? Thanks in advance. |

why excel 2003 always asks to save or not
Hi
When you open the sheet, if you have any of the volatile functions on the sheet like TODAY(), NOW(), INDIRECT(), OFFSET() etc. and your default calculation mode is set to Automatic, Excel has to recalculate these. The values, other than NOW(), may well not change, but the internal flag in Excel will have been set to say that a recalculation has taken place since the last time the file was saved, hence it comes up with the message. If you know you have not made any changes, then you can answer No to the prompt. -- Regards Roger Govier "Dino Hsu" wrote in message oups.com...

I have done more test and I believe my situation is not like what you
say. All .xls files but not those with specific functions, have this message, even a newly added .xls file which contains nothing shows this message. I tried to switch calcuation mode from auto to manual, it persists. |
