How to make Save prompt come up on Excel workbook

S

Sammi

We are using office 2000, generally when you click on the x in the top right
screen to close the workbook after making changes, you get Prompted to save
changes.

For a client of mine this is not happening.

I have searched the standard options and cannot find where to set this to
give that prompt.

Can someone please assist, or am i having a blonde moment ?

Blonde moment deluxe, with whipped cream and heroin on top. The prompt shows
when the sheet has been changed. If it does not come up, it means you made
no changes to the sheet.

Hi Doug, think you might be having the blonde moment,

if you read what i wrote " ..top right screen to close workbook after
making changes....."

note the AFTER Making Changes part ??

my client is making changes to the workbook Doug, the prompt is not coming
up!

Hence my query on here to find if there is a way to fix this, as i know of
none.

Normally this is an automated prompt, but for some reason, her excel is not
acting like the other 15,000 staff here.

cheers.

OK - I'm not doubting you. But, have you actually seen this happen, or is it
being told to you by the user?

brrrrr

I have 2 machines that are doing this as well not a blonde moment. If I enter
something into a workbook then go to another program then come back and close
the workbook it does not prompt to save and it has not saved automatically.

Some of us may be blond, but there is no blonde-moment going on here. The
same things is happening to one of my clients. She was upgraded from Office
2K Pro to Office 2003 Pro about 2 weeks ago, and this issue just started
happening. If I come across the answer, I will let everyone know.

I have a brand new computer with a brand new installation of Office on it.
I am having the same problem.
After opening and making changes to a file I can close it by pressing the X
in the upper right corner and it will NOT prompt me to save the file.
If anyone knows the solution I'd love to hear it.
