Modified Time Updates

We hav been experiencing a problem on our Samba server for a while now.
When opening an XLS file in a share using MS Excel, the modified time
gets updated - even though the file was never modified ..
This becoes frustrating for the managers who scan a share for modified
files ..

This appears to be specific to Excel, as the MS Word documents are fine. I
am not really a windows user, so I am not too sure if it is some sort of
"auto-save" feature .. although it does happen to all Excel users on the
Network (All have default installations)

Any pointers greatly appreciated ..
