How can I make my Excel invoice template work with Office 2007?
I have put some serious hours into to trying to make this invoice template
work with Office 2007 and Windows 7. It came originally with Office 97 and Office 2000 and was designed by Village Software for Excel usage. What is nice about it is that it has a visual basic database attached to it to track fields of data on the invoice. I have tried everything to make this darn thing work and I really need it for my business. The file names that I copied over to Windows 7 a INVDB.XLS TMPLTNUM.XLS WZTEMPLT.XLS I pasted these files into location C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office12/Library as some on the net have suggested to do in XP (except it would be Office11). I have successfully performed this feat in XP with Office 2003 but not Office 2007 in Windows 7. Keep in mind that I did change the file location of INVDB.XLS in the template but everytime I try to save the file it says "cannot locate ...INVDB.XLS". I also do not get the number toolbar to sequentially increase the invoice number manually. Has anyone successfully made this awesome template work with Office 2007? I know it can be done unless the VBA between the two Office versions are not compatible. I even created new folders for placement of the above three files in C: /Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Library and no go. |

How can I make my Excel invoice template work with Office 2007?
Anyone considering helping the OP should be aware that the same query has been cross-posted to various forums and the OP is
unwilling to let on about this until a solution is provided - no matter how much re-inventing the wheel people in each forum might go through to get there. For further info, see: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.c...1584417&page=1 http://www.sqldrill.com/excel/miscel...ce-2007-a.html http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/ex...ce-2007-a.html http://www.sevenforums.com/software/...late-work.html http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=437800 http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...excel/200912/1 Note also that a new copy of the product retails for a paltry US$30-50 and it isn't designed for use with Office 2007 or later anyway (it uses a custom Excel 97-2003 toolbar). The maker's website makes this limitation quite clear. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "jberenyi" <u57075@uwe wrote in message news:a12b255f91506@uwe...
