Why am I getting an error referring to a .XLT file when exporting to Excel?

When you export a report to Excel, AccountRight uses an Excel report template to display your report. If the template for your report is missing, an error like this will display:

To fix it, you'll need to uninstall then reinstall AccountRight. This will restore your Excel templates with the default ones that come with AccountRight. Be aware that if you've edited any of the Excel templates, take a copy of the edited templates before uninstalling AccountRight.

Your Excel templates are found here:
