Changed worksheet file (Excel 2003)
Is there any indicator that can be displayed to alert the user that
un-saved changes have been made to a worksheet? (In some other applications, an asterisk ( * ) is displayed next to the file-name in the Title Bar). |

Changed worksheet file (Excel 2003)
I'd use a macro in my personal.xls file. It wouldn't be the same as the
asterisk indicator (UltraEdit???), but it might be sufficient: Option Explicit Sub testme01() With ActiveWorkbook MsgBox prompt:="Last changes have been saved: " & .Saved, _ Title:=.FullName End With End Sub Assign it to a button on your favorite toolbar or give it a shortcut key. ========== You could use something like this, but it has a problem: It checks each time you change the selection to see if the workbook has been saved. So it could be off by one selection. If you save the workbook, then the indicator won't change from book1.xls* to book1.xls until you select a different cell in that same workbook. If you want to try, you could use something like this: Option Explicit Public WithEvents xlApp As Excel.Application Private Sub Workbook_Open() Set xlApp = Application End Sub Private Sub Workbook_Close() Set xlApp = Nothing End Sub Private Sub xlApp_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, _ ByVal Target As Range) Dim myStr As String myStr = Sh.Parent.Name If Sh.Parent.Saved = False Then myStr = myStr & "*" End If ActiveWindow.Caption = myStr End Sub This is an application event. Put this into a workbook that's always opened when you open excel. One possible workbook is your personal.xls stored in your XLStart folder. Another possible workbook is an addin (located anywhere you want), but installed via tools|addins.
