That makes good sense. Thanks. Otto

You can do the same thing with an .xls file, but with the .xlt, it forces
you to create a new file. You cannot inadvertantly save the .xlt file
with any changes made, whereas you could with the .xls file, thereby
destroying your template.

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you say. My question is,
why wouldn't an xls file do the same thing, that is, open it, SaveAs a
new name? Thanks again. Otto

I don't think the fact that it is an xlt is anything to do with the
missing modules.

An xlt file is a template, when you new a file and select that template
it creates a workbbok based upon that template, with all of its fonts,
its setup, and all of the code. The purpose is to create a style of
workbooks easily, having the style already defined.

Any version of Excel including 2007
I wrote a VBA project for an OP and he saved it as a template (xlt).
When the code opened that file and placed data into it and saved it as
an xls, he found that it was missing some of the standard modules. Is
that related in any way to the xlt thing?
A related question: What is the benefit of making a file an xlt file?
I realize that you don't want to change the original xlt file, but if
the code opens that file, changes it, and then savesAS another xls
name, does it make any difference if the original is an xlt or xls?
Thanks for your time to educate me a bit. Otto
