1. You neglected the forum tip. No mention of software versions, what network you are on, the internet and more...
2. There is a bug that I saw with Excel 97 but there will never be a fix provided. Just so you know.

Recently I have been receiving the following message when saving Excel documents: The file 'XXXX.xls' may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you wnat to do?
-Save a copy
-Overwrite changes
I know that no one has been making changes to the documents I'm trying to save.
The only adjustment to my PC that I know of is installing Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I do not want to see this message when I'm saving Excel documents.
