I'm running Office 2007, and always back up my files to a flash drive
which I can then open in my laptop. The "Icons" always look normal until
today When I backed up an Excel file. The new Icon on the flash drive
has a big exclamation mark (!) in the center of it!! I have reviewed
the file and can't find anything wrong with it -- have been doing this
for years and have never seen this before. Will someone please tell me
what this means!! The icon in my "documents and settings", where the
file was saved originally is normal.

This is a cross post with "ms.office" but that group doesn't get much action
 
It means you have VBA (macros or UDFs) in your workbook
Maybe even old XLM (Excel4) code can cause this, but I'm not sure about that

Right on!! I went back and looked and guess I inadvertently saved it as
a "Macro Enabled".

Thanks for clearing it up!!
