Thanks Ron

What I don't understand is why I can change my default MS Office template
folder and it works for Word and PowerPoint but not Excel. I'm rolling a
suite of templates out to 500 colleagues and really only want everyone to
have to change one setting and have one folder of templates. It is not very
user friendly to have people faffing about with template and start up folders?

But I appreciate the speedy response

I created a template with corporate fonts headers footers etc & called it
Book.xlt

My MS Office template path is c:\DATA\templates and my Normal.dot and
Blank.pot both work fine.

But my default spreadsheet is not my Book.xlt

PS There is nothing in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart

I am completely stumped
Can Anyone out there help
