Default Excel template folder

I believe that the users are using the workgroup templates file location in
Word.

Thanks,

Ricki

You haven't answered my question on whether or not you're *currently*
using the MS Office workgroup templates file location in Word.

The client I am working with would like the following:
We want when using File/New for it to see a workgroup folder on a network
drive. We do not want a separate tab within the current templates on the
C: drive like 1033 or Buisness Planner Templates. We want it to pick up a
template folder location from a network drive location.

Thanks,
Ricki

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
