What happens if you just (temporarily) dump that sheet.xlt template and put a
brand new one out there?

If it works ok, then how about trying to recreate it once more?

I have created a BOOK.xlt template (fairly basic- 3-tabs/verdana10pt/blue
font/A4~l-s formatting).
I then opened that book.xlt, deleted two tabs and re-saved as SHEET.xlt.
Both are in the correct XL/XLStart folder in my C:/User folder. (together
with my PERSONAL.xls)
So far, so good....BUT
Although every time I open Excel, my new template works a treat, if/when I
then ADD (insert) a new/fourth sheet to that workbook I get a "Sorry, Excel
has encountered an errror, needs to close and can we send an error report to
Uncle Bill?" message.
If I let it save the work and reopen, that same error message reappears
immediately in the "repaired" version, so it goes back through the
"sorry...tell Uncle" process" !!!.
I end up closing excel. And climbing the wall in frustration!!!

What am I doing wrong?? ANY ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
TIA
