Hello all,
So I can't find this issue anywhere. I have a Macro-Enabled workbook that when opened and immediately closed asks "Would you like to save changes?" even though nothing was changed. I've seen help articles about this explaining the number of reasons that this could be happening. (1) Volatile functions - I do have a few, although that doesn't seem to be the issue (more on this later). (2) Formula's with links to another workbook - I have made sure there are none. (3) Linked Pictures - There are None (4) Iterative Formulas - I have made sure there are none (5) Charts getting data from other workbooks - There are none (6) VBA Code that updates the workbook - again, I don't think that I have any.
It seems like this issue occurs for any Macro-Enabled workbooks I open. Even older spreadsheets that this never happened are experiencing this issue.
Solutions I've tried:
- I have a few functions that call "Today()". I removed all of them and the issue still persisted.
- Next I deleted all Macro's and saved the file as a standard (non Macro-Enabled) sheet. Once I did that step, the workbook stopped asking to save every time it was opened and closed.
So the problem definitely seems to be with the Macros. What is even weirder, is that if the Macro-Enabled Workbook is Open, and then I open and close the Non-Macro Enabled version, then it starts asking me if I want to save the Non-Macro Enabled version. I tried deleting and rebuilding the macros too...no luck.
Any ideas?
I'm using Office 16
Windows 11
Thanks to anyone who spends any time helping me with this. It's greatly appreciated.
