Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
assign a button to this code & click on the button to save..

Code:
[FONT=Courier New]Sub try()[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Application.DisplayAlerts = False[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]   ActiveWorkbook.Save[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Application.DisplayAlerts = True[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]End Sub[/FONT]

Why does it do this? I have Excel 2010 on my computer, and did right click (on desktop) create new Excel document. It creates a .xlsx, which is apparently an Excel 2003 document (???) but in any case, I add some data to cells, nothing fancy, then every time I save it it gives me this popup.

I have not done any of the 4 things listed in the warning popup:

macros,ActiveX controls,XML expansion pack information or web components

so why is it doing this anyway?
