Yes, there is an equivalent in XL ... BUT ... you have XL02, and there's a
bug in that version in the procedure for doing this the *easy* way.

There are other ways though!

Couple of questions first.
Are you *already* using the MS Office workgroups template folder for *both*
this "special" department and the rest of the company?

Is this "special" department to have this 'special' templates folder in
*addition* to what all the rest of the company is using for templates?
What I mean here is, might this 'special' templates folder be used by the
"special" department in *place of* what the rest of the company is using?

Post back with answers to these questions plus anything else you might think
of to clarify your company's template configuration, so that the easiest and
simplest approach can be recommended.

...
I am working in Excel 2002. I would like to create a template folder for a
certain department, so that only that department sees the folder tab for
those specific templates under File, New. The templates would reside in a
shared folder on a network drive. In Word, I can set the Workgroup
Template folder under File, Options. Is there any equivalent process in
Excel?

TIA,

Ricki
