!!*#?!* template wizard

PSB

Recently upgraded from Office 2001 to Office 2004 for Macintosh and
installed the template wizard from the earlier version.

I have a template named "Invoice05.xlt" and a linked database named
"Invoices05.xls." Both were copied from Office 2001 files named
"Invoice04.xlt" and "Invoices04.xls" and placed in a separate folder. I
ran the template wizard and made the correct linkages, but when I try
to save an '05 invoice, Excel tells me it cannot find "Invoices04.xls."

What am I doing wrong? This problem is keeping me from collecting a
fair-sized amount of money.

TIA.

Am not familiar with a Template wizard, but here is an idea:

open your 05.xlt and go to Edit>Links to confirm the correct path to
your 05.xls - I have a sneaking suspicion that it may not be as you
think. If necessary use the Change Source button to make the connection
and see if that works.

Based on the transition from 01 to 04 I assume you must have also
ugraded your OS from 9.x to X.x, which uses a totally different file
structure. In that case the path from your newly generated files is
probably different from what the link thinks it is.

Post back with first suggestion's results, and proceed from there as
necessary |:>)
