Had the same thing...I still think the problem is timing, but exacerbated by the fact that there is actually no macro/module in the workbook being used. The macro is in the template and is being referenced by the workbook and what happens in one is not neccessarily being duplicated in the other at the same time (this is instanced by the fact that you can rename, change, and save, the workbook but on exiting the book you will then be asked if you want to save the template)
