I am starting Excel from within Access by having the user click on a
command
button. That works just fine. Now I want to have Excel open to a new
workbook based on a template I created (schedule.xlt). Can anyonw help me
do
this?

Thanks Vasant, but I think I only received part of your answer. I don't want
Excel to open this template every time it starts, just when I start it from
within Access.
