"Recently Used File List"
Using Excel 2002... Is there any way to remove files from this list other than waiting for them to be replaced over time? |

You could remove then. Here is code showing how to get at it
Dim i As Long For i = 0 To Application.RecentFiles.Count i = i + 1 If Application.RecentFiles(i).Name = "ABC.xls" Then Application.RecentFiles(i).Delete End If Next i But don't forget, some items in the list will be just the file name, some will include the path -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "phil6666" wrote in message ...

Using Excel 2002...
Is there any way to remove files from this list other than waiting for them to be replaced over time? This one removes the first file (the second line puts the maximum back to 9 files, which seemed to be required if I deleted all the files in the list). Change the (1) if you want to delete other than the most recent file. Sub DelMRU() Application.RecentFiles(1).Delete Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = 9 End Sub This one puts the current file back on the list. Sub AddCurFileToMRU() Application.RecentFiles.Add Name:=ActiveWorkbook.FullName End Sub I have a button for each on my toolbar. |

This sounds like just what I need, but don't know how to add a button to the toolbar other than those that are already available with TOOLSCUSTOMIZE. Could you point me in the right direction in MS Help? thnx On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 03:45:36 GMT, Andy wrote: Using Excel 2002...

ToolsCustomizeCommandsMacros
Drag the Custom Button (yellow smiley face) to your toolbar, right click on it, assign macro (you have to have a worksheet open so the assign macro dialog box comes up). Right clicking on the button while the ToolsCustomize dialog box is open will also give you some other options (like changing the smiley face). |

I followed Excel "help" and copy/pasted exactly what you wrote & it works perfectly!!! Now, if I only had a minimal clue what macros really can do.......

Glad it worked.
Now, if I only had a minimal clue what macros really can do....... Almost anything. I've barely scratched the surface! |

OK....now Excel doesn't want me to use the macro because the digital signature that I wrote isn't in the trusted root certification authorities store. How do I do that??? thnx On Fri, 01 Apr 2005 21:25:19 -0500, phil6666 wrote: I followed Excel "help" and copy/pasted exactly what you wrote & it works perfectly!!!
