Then look into using Application.NetworkTemplatesPath and making sure each
user has this set to the same shared folder. You can set it with e.g.:
Application.NetworkTemplatesPath="L:\\SharedTempla tes\"

NickHK, Thanks for your response.

However I don't want to deploy the templates to "user templates" I want
the
templates to be available for all users.

There are several Excel templates in %ProgramFiles%\Office\Templates which
are showed when you choose File-New- Installed templates. I guess these
are machine wide templates available for every user.

I have done the following experiment: delete one predefined template from
%ProgramFiles%\Office\Templates, and then choosing File-New-Installed
templates. Excel still show the template, but with a X sign, meaning it is
not available yet. I guess Excel stores a reference to installed or
predefined templates somewhere on the machine.

Where Excel stores information on predefined templates?

Is it possible to add new Excel predefined templates ?

How can I add a predefined or installed template in Excel 2007 and Excel
2003?

Regards:

Jesús López

Jesús,
Can't say for sure about 2007 version, but you can try these for
previous
versions:

There the Office wide setting, that is not visible in the Excel
OptionsGeneral (but is visible in Word's) shown by
?application.NetworkTemplatesPath

C:\Documents and Settings\{UserName}\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates
Again this is visble in Word's Options but not Excel's, shown by
?application.TemplatesPath
