Hi César, Just to confirm... You are creating a new excel file using LibXL which does not actually use Microsoft Excel at all for the file creation. You are then opening the newly created file with Microsoft Excel. After viewing the file without intentionally making any changes Microsoft Excel is asking if you want to save the file when you close the file. Opening the file a second time using Microsoft Excel and the closing it does not prompt to save. If this is accurate then my guess is that the original LibXL created file has something that Microsoft Excel is automatically adjusting the first time you open it. Since Microsoft Excel has changed something it is prompting to save this change. Purely speculation!!! Have you contacted support@libxl.com with this question? Regards...

César Calvo | Re: Why Excel always request save File for xls and not for xlsx? on Mon, 06 May 2019 22:55:13 +0200 Jonathan, you are right, there is some bug in LibXL because if I create the excel with ActiveX it never asks the confirmation of save. I am going to report this issue to the LibXL team. Thanks. "Jonathan Leeming" escribió en el mensaje de noticias:48e39cd3$6b9c8870$6bc9@news.alaska-software.com...
