When I open a document and do a "Save As" to create a new spreadsheet,
the archive attribute is set on the original source file I opened, even
though I never saved the original file. Is there any way to stop this
behavior ??
 
Not that I know of.

Maybe you could use windows explorer to copy to a new name first, then open that
copy.

Another method that worked for me (win98/xl2002) is to do File|Open, select my
file, click on the dropdown on the Open button and choose Open-readonly.

The archive bit didn't get modified.
