Excel keeps asking whether to save file or not.

Asked By jenwilliam 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/28/2011

I have a problem. Whenever I open my Excel files in my office PC it keeps asking that "Do you want to save the file or not". Even if I don't change any of the content of the said file it always asks this question.

When I open it again, it will ask thousands of times to save or don't save. Even if I am using the newer version of MS Office, I

faced the same problem with the older version. Problem remains unchanged. Solve this please.

Erro:

Microsoft Excel

Do you want to save the changes you made to SINGER_sds?

Hi,

Kindly first check the file if it is read-only. As you state it keeps asking to save it or not. It is not all about your Microsoft, it might be your file which has saved as a read-only file. If it is, then try to save it as a different file and check if it is asking you again to save it.

Hi there user:

Just click Save. And then when you’re finish editing or making your spreadsheet, click Save As and then check the file type. The file type should be .xls or .xlr as I saw the image seemed to be a spreadsheet.

Save and then exit.

Open the file again and everything will be okay.  

Thanks for asking here at techyv.com

Best regards,

"Hi Jenwilliam,

Is there any macro that you have been using?

 

If there is, better check it again because it might be the problem. Your macro setting must have been performing its task even if you did not made any changes. If there is none, try saving the file on your other drives and open it again. Rename it and open your file through the new location.
