Thanks for your reply. I will try your idee. I don't want to copy the template. We only use templates on the network. Yes, it will be really annoying ... but this is what the management wants.

Hello Hennie,
Here is a method to do what your wanting to do. Adjust the code to reflect your files. This is for Office 2000, you will need to check for your version of MS Office for the correct Registry path settings. I use a registry call in case the user has installed to another location and or a different drive.
code:
$WP = READVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word\InstallRoot", "path") $LW = $WP+"Winword.exe d:\temp\mynew.dot" RUN $LW
Finaly I made a shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" /tG:\sjabloon\normal.dot /mFormulier and copy this in the loginscript to all users startup folders.
Boy, if I were a user on your net, I'd be annoyed by this loading on every logon! Well, maybe not. I'd keep the shortcut, but change its properties to launch Freecell instead!
If you overwrite on every logon, I'd just hold down the shift key.

I think calling it from the Logon script might be better if you want it to always happen, but I guess what really matters is that you have it working in a way that your happy with.
Thanks for the update Hennie. I like it when people post updates to let all of us know if it worked or not or what they did to resolve the issue.
