I want to share this template with my fellow employees via our intranet. When
you open the template from the IE browser, it doesn't show the toolbar with
my new macro and it opens the actual template itself rather than a copy of
the form.

Is this possible? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

When you open a template on your own computer, the default action for a
double-click is "New", meaning "make a new document based on this template".
The IE browser doesn't understand "New"; its default action is "Open",
meaning "open this file directly".

On the page where your colleagues can click your template, write
instructions telling them that they must right-click the link and choose
"Save Target As", and download the template to their computer. Then they can
double-click it and get a new document.

Hi Jay,
Thanks but it didn't solve the problem....the macro will not run any longer.
("The macro cannot be found or has been disabled by your macro security
settings")

Any other ideas?

Look in Tools Macro Security and, if the level is set to High, reset it
to Medium. Also, open the Macros dialog (Alt+F8) and make sure the macro is
there.
