I have a small database app developed in Excel 2000 using the Template Wizard. Now that my employer has switched to Excel 2003, the Template Wizard is no longer present. The download of the Excel 2002 (available from but not fully supported by Microsoft) version has been vetoed by the IT people. Is there a workaround? My app created an .xlt template that multiple users could access from their own desktops. The data from those templates would be automatically stored in a separate centrally located .wks file.

Thx.

Correct, the techies are not permitting us to download and use the add in. I showed them the link when I reported this problem to them....

Thx for your reply.

If you still have your Office 97 CD the add in can be found in D:\OFFICE\LIBRARY\WZTEMPLT.XLA (assuming D is your CD drive) - (or have the Techies restricted access to the CD drive?). Or try looking for the file WZTEMPLT.XLA on an old Office 97 machine - it comes up as 689KB on my machine so no biggie

The tech support people don't allow admin control of desktops and will not authorize the use of software not "fully supported" by Microsoft. In short the workaround must involve some technique using standard issue Excel 2003 thx
