prompted to save when no changes are made

[Clairelish]

Hello again

Does anyone know why some read-only presentations after being opened and closed ask the user whether they want to save changes, when no changes have been made, and some don't? Is there any way to change this setting?

Thanks very much for your time,
Claire

If the presentation is able to run VBA, you can force it not to ask. This
will not work with the viewer.

Sub John33()
ActivePresentation.Saved = msoTrue
End Sub

It is also possible that by not asking, real changes would be lost if a user
forgets to manually save.

Is there any chance that VBA is making changes to the presentation that you
are unaware of? Does it promt for for save when the default printers are
different, or a font is unavailable on one system? These might cause the
presentation to alter its appearance a bit.
