.xlt not opening as template

[Kevlarhead]

Simple problem, hopefully with a simple solution.

I created a spreadsheet, and then saved it as a template (call it file.xlt).

Now, when I open it, instead of opening a copy as file1.xls, it's ignoring the template status and opening file.xlt.

Not sure what's happening. Has anyone else had this problem?

To open a copy choose File|New rather than File|Open.

After some more thought and checking it appears this was a file association problem rather than an Excel issue.

Ta for the fast reply though.
