SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Microsoft Project, when you create a publisher, and you then subscribe
to the edition created by the publisher in the same project, you are
prompted to save the project file when you close it, even if you have not
made any changes to the file since the last time you saved it.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This behavior occurs when your project contains a publisher and a
subscriber of the same edition, if the subscriber is a picture. For
example, this behavior occurs if you subscribe to an edition from the
Object viewer in the Task Form or the Resource Form, or from the Gantt
Chart.
 
This behavior does not occur when the publisher and subscriber are
from different editions.
 
This behavior occurs because when you save a project that contains a
publisher, the publisher sends an "update" message to the subscriber
of the published edition. Because this message can only be handled
after the project is saved, the update message is marked as a change
to the file that contains the subscriber. If the publisher and
subscriber are in the same project, the project is marked as changed
after it is saved, and you are prompted to save the file when you
close it, even if you have not made any changes to the file since you
last saved it.
 
Note that this behavior also occurs in Microsoft Excel.
