D Dave Peterson Feb 3, 2004 #2 It sounds like you didn't put it in the right spot. (You wanted it to show up when you did: File|new???) If yes, then start excel hit alt-F11 to see the VBE hit ctrl-G to see the immediate window type this and hit enter: ?application.TemplatesPath And you'll see what folder excel expects to be the toplevel folder for templates. If it's really a .xlt file, you should be able to doubleclick on it in windows explorer and see a new workbook based on that template.
