Hi all,
Sussed it [finally!] - you're right, as suspected it wasn't to do =
directly
with the upgrade - more mentioned it just in case!
Office XP - you have to set the workgroup templates location within =
Word and
this setting applies to ALL Office XP programs. Means you have to put =
Word,
Excel, whatever templates in the same location but that's not a big =
deal -
our issue was that we had previously had separate folders for Word, =
Excel
etc so Excel was looking in the Word folder...
Be nice if MS had made this a little clearer but all's well that ends =
well!
Cheers,
David

I doubt that this has anything specifically to do with the upgrade.
but I'm thinking you may wanna poke around in the Office setup NG and =
see if
anyone there has a thought (although you may get some response from =
the
other groups you've posted to as well)

Hi again,
Very weird one here.
Had SBS4.5 - backed up all data - flattened server - clean install of
SBS2k - restored data - shares with same names/locations created
LAN clients running Office 2000 can use workgroup templates exactly as =
they
could previously
LAN clients running Office XP can use workgroup templates fine in Word =
but
not in Excel - simply don't appear! Can browse to the relevant =
template
files and open them directly OK however.
Have even tried moving the template files to an entirely new folder =
with the
shares being custom created so as to ensure that none of the 'old' =
security
and/or access level permissions of the 'previous' server were copied =
across.
Then used login script to map a network drive to this new folder. =
Pointed
the Options/General tab in Excel to have the 'At statup, open all =
files in:'
entry pointing to this new mapped drive.
No change.
Starting to pull hair out. Settings are identical on both the Office =
2k and
Office XP Excel clients but the XP ones simply won't use the workgroup
templates. The Excel XP clients are new - all clients were Office 2k =
before
SBS upgrade...
Anyone got any bright ideas?
Thanks in advance,
David
