Hi,
I've read the article "Distributing macros to other users" by Jonathan West.
My IT Dept. informs me that we don't use login scripts. They suggested that
I save the template to a folder on the shared drive. The folder would be
"read only" to the users. Does anyone see a problem with that approach?

Thanks,
Mickey

Only issues of increased network traffic mentioned in Jonathon's article and
also the difficulty of updating the template because it will be locked
whenever someone has a document open that was created from the template.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
