 Customizing the File/Open window???

Clear DayGreetings,
Can one of you Project.vba guru's answer this...
On the File/New window that opens I have 3 Tabs; "General", "Project
Templates", and "Office 97 Templates".  Is it possible to customize the
labels on the tabs, and/or add more tabs.  I would like to add tabs for
various departments; Maintenance, Engineering, IT, and store their
respective
templates under their own tab.  And if yes, how?

thanks,

Dan

The file new dialog tabs are customized for each user. The procedure to
create them is as follows:

Step 1) Find out your custom template directory. It will be something like:

C:\WINNT\Profiles\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\

If you have problems in finding your template directory, one easy way is to
type [?application.TemplatesPath] in debug window of Excel2000.

Step 2) Under the above templates directory create sub directories the names
of which should match the tab names you want. Put atleast one mpt file in
each of them. These directories automatically appear as tabs in file|New
dialog box the files get listed as per the files in these directories.

Regards
Venkata Krishna

Thanks, you confirmed what I discovered through much trial & error.  Now I
just have to customize the customer's installation process so each user gets
the additional templates.
