Simple problem, hopefully with a simple solution.

I created a spreadsheet, and then saved it as a template (call it file.xlt).

Now, when I open it, instead of opening a copy as file1.xls, it's ignoring the template status and opening file.xlt.

Not sure what's happening. Has anyone else had this problem?

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
After some more thought and checking it appears this was a file association problem rather than an Excel issue.

Ta for the fast reply though.
