whenever I close a workbook, even though no changes have been made, a message box prompt to save or not almost always appear.

I want the workbook to prompt only when there are changes made - and close right away when there are not (no prompt nor message box)..

thank you
 

Excel Facts

Excel Joke
Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
It's the result of volatile functions like TODAY, OFFSET etc.
Or even of references like A1:INDEX(...)
Those recalculate each time workbook is open, thus cells with such functions/referencing become dirty.
But you may save workbook as XLSM or XLSB with the below code in its ThisWorkbook module:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
  Me.Saved = True
End Sub

Mr. ZVI
thank you for your reply
let me please explain my workbook (with several macros) - it is a costing program wherein dimensions and quantities have to be entered to compute for the cost of a particular metal desking frame.
even though there was not a single data entered (just opening the workbook - then closing it) there always is a prompt for saving or not.. kinda irritating.
vba should determine if there was data entered before issuing a save - not save prompt .. otherwise the workbook should just close right away (because no data was entered)
hope you got this
many thanks

Hi FKim,
The behavior of the issue is clear, thanks.
The code suggested in my previous post may solve it, have you tried it?
