Visio keeps asking me to save a document even though i didn't change anything?
We have visio 2003 and we have a template that we use that use no add ons as i know of. i made some permissions changes last week on the server to allow people modify access but i don't think that, that is the problem. When we open it, it asks us to save the file even though we have made no changes. What would make it do this? It is making our adobe pdkmaker not work because the box will not come up allowing us to save it but it should not because we have not changed it. Any ideas?

From my experience with both Visio 2003 and 2007, I believe this is part of Visio framework and cannot be 'disabled'. You could try a re-installation, but I think the notification will still exist regardless.

we have found a certain shape from a stencil that we use, that is causing any visio we make to always ask to save. it asks us even when there are no changes made and just that shape is added. what could i check to see why?
It is possible to add a macro to your document that resets the "needs to be saved" flag, but this may not be something you want to do.
In your original post you said the save dialog appears when you open the document -- do you mean that it automatically appears immediately after you open the document without doing anything else first? Or does it appear when you try to close the document even though you have only opened and looked at the document without doing anything else?

"it appears when you try to close the document even though you have only opened and looked at the document without doing anything else" and then trying to close document, it asks you to save when you haven't touched it. There are no macros for this document.
