Whenever Excel detects a file made under a previous version of Excel (even if it's just a service pack) it will ask you if you want to save the 'changes', even if you haven't made any. It says, it 'recalculates' the spreadsheet. This drives us crazy at work because we have something like 10 years of calibration sheets in various versions of Excel. Of course, if you do 'upgrade' you loose the file date, it changes it to today, then we can't tell whether it's really been modified recently or not. Also, Excel 2003 broke the linest function and even Microsoft says do not use it.

Is there a good reason why Win Excel wishes me to 'upgrade' my old
spreadsheets on either Save or Close post the install of SP3 for Office?
Not quite sure how to react to this.
