Where can I go now??

I have a problem with custom shortcut icons in excel templates, (- message at end previously posted -), but I have not had any response from numerous newsgroups eg microsoft, google/yahoo, so can anyone suggest where I can go? (keep it clean!)

Any ideas will be appreciated.

thanks

I have 3 templates that are in a main network folder. I
opened a new folder in D:Microsoft Office/Templates and
placed shortcuts to the files in there. The files open ok,
but after i tried to change the icons on the shortcuts,
the same icon was displayed 3 times. Going into properties
on these shortcuts shows the correct icon in the top left,
but this is not being displayed.

Can anyone help with this?

I created a new template, saved somewhere, put a shortcut icon in the \Office\Templates folder, changed the icon and it showed fine when i created a new file... maybe it's a Windows problem ? what version are you using ? and what Office version ?

Wait a sec...

If i create a new shortcut icon, (That is, i have two different shortcut icons to different templates) i loose my "custom" icon, so i think that Excel can only have one ?? try that, have ONLY one shortcut and see if you get the correct icon.
