Hi,

I have a problem with trying to get a template to open from inside a
sheet.

At the moment I have a large workbook which has lots of data that the
template uses for lists boxes and INDEX/MATCH lookups. The problem I've
got is I want to allow the user to click a button which will create a
template for them from the original sheet (so they only have one sheet
to use).

Trouble is when I open the template through windows explorer whilst the
workbook with all the information is open and I get no errors and all
the functionality works fine. However when I try to use VBA to open a
template I get the "Update Links" message which no matter what option I
press breaks the functionality of the sheet.

I've tried;

Workbooks.open "sheet1.xlt"

and

Workbooks.Add Template:="sheet1.xlt"

The first one just opens the template for editing and the second gives
me the update error I'm trying to avoid, and for some reason I can't
seem to add the UpdateLinks:=0 thing either excel just says it's an
invalid arguement.

Can anyone help?
