I'm helping a coworker with an excel spreadsheet which interfaces wit
an oracle (I believe) database. The template opens fine in Excel 97
yet fails to produce anything at all when it is used to create a ne
file in Excel2003. Excel simply acts as if you had clicked nothing a
all. The macros aren't loaded, and the page doesn't change.

If you need more info about the problem, please ask

Hi
Some questions
- is there any error message?
- What security level for macros is set
- Is there an Auto_open or Workbook_open macro. If yes could you post
the code

No error messages, nor any response of any kind. Nothing in the even
logs either.

Medium Security level, such that it asks before running all macros.

Neither of those macros exist. Only three custom macros, whic
incidentally, are what I'm supposed to help them debug.

Thanks for the response

I checked with the leaders of the project, and they said that's a bi
no-no. Apparently there's information in the file that would not b
suitable to release. Can you give me any suggestions of things to loo
for

Hi
then very difficult to say. Some ideas:
- check the database connection
- try removing this database connection part and see if the template
opens afterwards
- check all used macros (if there're any)
