Template Redirection

Is it possible to redirect the location of Excel Templates. Currently,
templates are saved to my c: drive, however I need to be able to access this
particular set of templates from several different computers.

The easiest way to "network" XL templates is to use the *MS Office*
procedure.
I'll assume that your organization has Office, where WORD is included.

NOTE ... this *must* be done on *every machine* that you wish to use to
access the templates.

Close XL.
Open *Word*.

Then,
<Tools> <Options> <File Locations>

In the left column you should see, among others, "User Templates" and
"Workgroup Templates".
The right column of "User Templates" should display the path to your
machine's C:\ drive.
The right column of "Workgroup Templates" should be empty.

Click on "Workgroup Templates" to select it, then click on <Modify>.

Now, just navigate to your network's template location and <OK>.

You must repeat this on every machine.

Check out this old post where, at the end, I've included some comments on
the characteristics of these networked templates.
