Default Growing file size

Hi,

I have created (Excel XP) a "report generator" which grows oddly in size.
The basic procedure (this is supposed to run twice a week or so) is:

1. fetch data to a temp sheet from different dBase files using queries
2. calculate something based on this data to the main sheet
3. clear the temp sheet and goto 1
4. after everything is calculated, save the front sheet as a separate report
file

Basically everything runs fine, the generator file is around 120KB and the
report file around 80KB. However, the generator file grows in size when more
reports are generated. After around 10 test runs the size got up to 750KB. In
the long run, this is going to cause problems. One solution could be to
publish the generator as read-only (?), but I am willing to find the solution
to the problem first.

I've searched the newsgroup, tried all possible solutions and found nothing.
The generator obviously saves something "to itself" after every run, but what
on earth could it be?

Thanks in advance!

-Anssi K.
