Have you tried deleting his old template or replacing it with one in the
XLSX format?

I can try that but I wasn't sure how to find a template, what is the
extension I'd look for? Chip asked me to look for .xlt's - there were not
any, not sure if that's a template.

I did a Save and also SaveAs on book1, but all that does is let me save a
local book1.xlsx and doesn't resolve the issue.
