Issue With Excel Template Files

[Cameron115]

I have been using Microsoft Excel 2003 since it first came out and am only just coming across an apparent problem with it. I have a number of .xlt files that are used throughout the company and have never had any issues with them. However, it has just come to light that there is a user who can change the template.

Ordinarily, you open the Template file (e.g. Template.xlt) and on opening it find it is called Template1. On pressing the save icon you are taken to the the Save As screen with the default option to save the file as Template1.xls in MyDocuments (Default location).

In this one case though, the user opens the file as Template, and on pressing the save icon overwrites the original .xlt file. I have never seen this before and am bamboozled.

Any ideas please?

Try making the .xlt files read only.
