Got 'em and use 'em. I was just struck by the disagreement.

Thanks.

Here is what I think:
Do you have a book.xlt and sheet.xlt in your XLStart
Folder? "xlt"'s are templates. If you save a book.xlt to
your XLstart folder that will be used when you open excel
or start a new workbook. If you have a Sheet.xlt that
will be used when you do Insert Worksheet. This is easy
to test. Just do a search on the two files to see where
they are located. Open the files and put something in
them like your first name in A1 of the Book.xlt file and
your last name in the Sheet.xlt file. Then open Excel and
open a new document: it should open with the book.xlt
(first name) insert a sheet and it should come in with
your last name.) If you do not want these files used then
do not have them in XLstart or a place where they will be
used. To test it I would move them out of XLstart and put
them somewhere else. If they still open then I would
rename them to another extension for testing.

It appears to me that if Book.xlt is present, it
overrides the setting
in Options/General. Like wise for Sheet.xlt.

Is there more to it than that? Is this just two ways to
skin a cat?
