When I got to the icon for the save option I get this message
"The file ' .xls' may have been changed by another user since you last saved
it. In that case, what do you want to do?"

*save a copy
*overwrite changes
this dialoge box is getting annoying, If I choose save a copy I have copy's
of my files all over the place, if I overwrite then it does just that. But
why do I have to do this everytime I open a file? I have looked everywhere
and can't find my answer. Please remember that I just downloaded the Windows
update service pack 1 and I believe that this is the cause. Can someone help
me with this?

Have a look at this KB Artricle

"The file may have been changed..." error when you save workbook to network
server in Excel 2002

Myrna Larson also reported that she got this error when opening a workspace
(*.xlw) file.

Opening the workbooks individually solved the problem.
