SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Works for Windows when you open and close a Word Processor or
Database file without making any changes or saving the file, the date and
time of that file is updated.
For example, if a Works Word Processor file dated 3/1/95 at 11:00:00 is
opened on 3/15/95 at 12:00:00, then closed one minute later without being
saved or modified, the date and time of the file updates to 3/15/95 at
12:01:00.
CAUSE
This behavior is due to a problem in STORAGE.DLL. STORAGE.DLL is used
for all reading and writing of OLE 2.0 client documents. When you
close a file, STORAGE.DLL updates the file's properties.
MORE INFORMATION
This is not an issue with Microsoft Word version 6.0 or Microsoft
Excel version 5.0 for Windows because these programs cache all the file
information as soon as the file is opened, and write this information back
to the file when it is closed.
