HI TWIMC,

I'm try to get Excel to use a default workbook when I click on the 'New'
workbook button on the toolbar. Yes I have the Book.xls file in my
'C:\Documents and Settings\mccake\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART'
folder but when I start an Excel session it opens the Book.xls and dosen't
use it as a template in that when I click on the 'New' button I get a new
workbook Book1.xls that has the original workbook format. Yes I've tried a
template workbook (Book.xlt) but that too does the same, Excel starts and
opens the Book.xlt but I'm expecting Excel to open with a workbook file name
of Book1.xls but using my Book.xls (or Book.xlt) as a default. So the
questions is, is the XLSTART folder the correct folder.

It's probably not Excel that is the problem is probably to do with the App
Agent/Managed Apps scripts that run when ever I start an office application.

TIA
