Hi Ann@staples,
I picked up your comment and posted the same question as I could not get to
Frank Kabel reply of "Hi see your other post."
Please can I ask how you got around this problem ?

The file was created in XL 97 (I think) and is being opened in XL 2002. It
has one sheet. Data in rows 1 - 24 & Columns A - AE. There are cell borders
around these cells and some have shading. During the month (it's a roster)
the file is updated with an 'X' in the cell which corresponds with the day
the employee worked and then saved. The file at present is 5.4MB, in July
it was 3.6MB. The amount/number of data has not changed - just the 'X's'
have been placed into different cells.

Why is it increasing in size this dramatically and why is it this size
anyway?. There are no logos, no back ups, no versions...
