| Thanks Dave. I have Excel 2007 and unfortunately it's different - the
| "Tools" button is in the lower left of the box and offers only Delete,
| Rename, Print, Map Network Drive, Properties, and Recover Previous
Version.
| There's no "add to places" option - maybe it's somewhere else?
|
| I appreciate the input.

| In xl2002 and xl2003, you can do file|open and then go to the parent
folder of
| the folder you want. Then click on the Tools button (top right corner)
and
| click "Add to Places".
|
| If you're using xl2k, MS has a COM addin that's called Places.exe
| that allows you to update the places list.

| xl2002/xl2003.

| My Recent Documents
| Desktop
| My Documents
| My Computer
| My Network Places
|

(no
