I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office Pro 2003 a few days ago, and have
made the unfortunate discovery that the invoice template in Excel no longer
uses the INVDB.XLS database.

What is more interesting is that all the config data such as location of
INVDB.XLS is as it was before I upgraded.

I called Microsoft and the guy I talked to had never heard of it. This was
not a heartening discovery.

Is this database irrevocably toast, or has somebody found a way to make
this feature work in Excel 2003?

It's not a template if it's called XLS, templates have the XLT extension
I'd suggest you go to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/B...9-8FEAE6D75298

and search or search by name like invoice

And I'd suggest you read my message more carefully. The XLS file is called
- by Excel -- the "template database".

I made no claim that invoice.xlt was anything other than a template. What I
was referring to was the "template database" maintained by the template --
i..e., INVDB.XLS -- which is NOT a template :-)
