I have recently upgraded to Excel 2003. My workgroup templates were created
in Excel 97 and when opening a new workbook they appear to be available but
they do not open; no error, no nothing, they just fail to open.

Even if I save a new template in 2003 and save it to the workgroup location
it fails to open. They can be seen in the open dialog box.

The workgroup location is on a Netware server.
