After an upgrade to Office 2003 when saving an excel file, I keep getting a
file requester "The file 'XXXX.xls' may have been changed by another user
since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do?". How do I
stop it from asking me this and just save the file.

You're sure you upgraded to 2003, not 2002?

Have a look at this KB Article

"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.
