Excel template folder
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 |

Excel template folder
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. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ricki Miles" wrote in message ...

Excel template folder
Hi Rag,
Thanks for the response. This is a large company using various templates for all departments and special extra templates for one department. When File, New is accessed, I would like to have all the templates available as well as an extra tab for the special department templates that only that department will see and access.

Excel template folder
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 "RagDyer" wrote in message ... Yes, there is an equivalent in XL ...

You haven't answered my question on whether or not you're *currently* using
the MS Office workgroup templates file location in Word. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ricki Miles" wrote in message ...

It sounds to me that you're *not* familiar with the exact template networking configuration of your client. I'm no really that good of a typist to describe all the possibilities that could be used to network your templates in the different modes you're looking for. Without knowing what they're using now, any suggestion on my part could *compromise* their present situation. Here's a link to an old post which describes networking templates using the MS Office Workgroup templates file. It describes ways of creating additional tabs in the <File <New folder. Post back with *specific* questions. http://tinyurl.com/g8usp -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ricki Miles" wrote in message ...
