Look at Application Level Events.

A start is Chip Pearson's site

You could put this type of code in the Personal.xls

Yesterday i worked with 3 different people, who couldnt find a file,
the most recently used file list should have been 100 files long.

I am sure this would be very helpful for many users.

I thought of every time a file is opened writing the file name location
and date to sheet 1 of the personal xls file, then adding a new menu
item that would show those files as a hyperlink list.

BUT, how can i have excel record when a file is opened? can i do from
an event in the personal book?

Help greatly appreciated!
