How can I make my Excel 2000 invoice work in Windows 7? 2

[notgettinganyhelp]

I have put some serious hours into to trying to make this invoice template work with Windows 7. It came originally with Office 97 and Office 2000 and was designed by Village Software for Excel usage. What is nice about it is that it has a visual basic database attached to it to track fields of data on the invoice. I have tried everything to make this darn thing work and I really need it for my business. The file names that I copied over to Windows 7 are:

INVDB.XLS
TMPLTNUM.XLS
WZTEMPLT.XLS

I pasted these files into location C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office12/Library as many on the net have suggested in XP (except it would be Office11). I have successfully performed this feat in XP but not Windows 7. Keep in mind that I did change the file location of INVDB.XLS in the template but everytime I try to save the file it says "cannot locate INVDB.XLS". I also do not get the number toolbar to sequentially increase the invoice number.

Has anyone successfully made this awesome template work on their Windows 7?

D0 you mean you're using Excel 2000 on Windows 7? Or are you using Excel 2007?

There are changes to VBA in the Office 2007 suite that make some previous VBA not work with Office 2007.

Hope this helps.

Hi jberenyi,

Have you tried contacting Village Software? After all, if anyone knows how to use their software in Windows 7, Village Software should. See:
