Good evening ~ I have a problem that is driving me nuts. When I click on the
office button in EXCEL, all of my workbooks appear. There are 3 of the 10 I
no longer use and don't need. I can delete the file thru Open, right ckick
and "delete." However, the name of the file remains in my list when I click
on the Office button. The file is gone but the name remains. How do I get rid
of this??? Please help before I go crazy. Thank you.

If you are talking of the recently-used file list, I don't believe that you
can remove individual files from that list. You can change the number of
files on that list, so if you change it to zero they will all disappear and
then you can put the number back to 10 and a new list will be started.

This works ok for me in xl2003--but I've never tested it in xl2007.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim iCtr As Long
Dim MRUMax As Long
Dim TestStr As String

With Application.RecentFiles
MRUMax = .Maximum
For iCtr = .Count To 1 Step -1
TestStr = ""
On Error Resume Next
TestStr = Dir(.Item(iCtr).Path)
On Error GoTo 0
If TestStr = "" Then
.Item(iCtr).Delete
End If
Next iCtr
.Maximum = MRUMax
End With

End Sub


If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
