Why don't you try changinf the file extation from .xlt
to .xls

-----Original Message-----
I don't seem to be able to open a new file from a
template, I am using the
following which will open it as a template, but I need a
new file.

Workbooks.Open FileName:=Thisworkbook.Path & "\PS27a
(ndm).xlt

Can anyone help please?
