No need to ever save the .xlsm.

So, this would give the user 2 options:

1) Save the .xlsm and use that for modification -- nothing wrong with this approach

2) Never save the .xlsm, use the chosen .zon file to trigger loading the raw file -- nothing wrong with this approach either

[edit]The reason I'm leaning on this is i think users will come to view the Excel worksheet as an app that reads raw files to generate .zon files, and can also read .zon files for modification.
They can remain blissfully unaware there is an intermediary file that could be saved (the Excel .xlsm file).
It's also one less file for them to worry about.
Sorry, you've lost me

EDIT: just saw your edit, so this is after the .zon loading functionality is added?
