Thanks for the clarification, I have varified the same behavior on my version
which is not a trial version but the final release.

So apparently you have found a bug. I'll check elsewhere.

I'm talking about the *** Windows XP Pro sp2 Start Button's Menu's Recent
Documents List *** ... Not the one inside of the Excel 2007 application.

Are both lists showing your Excel 2007 recent documents for files in the new:
.xlsx and .xlsm file formats?

If so, do you think I need to uninstall and reinstall Excel 2007?

The Excel 2007 file types are in my PC's Registry.

I know the list will not show .exe files because of some kind of filter.

I'd think though that Excel 2007 files should show up on the list like
however because Excel's previous version files do.

I tried writing a macro using the SHAddToRecentDocs API call but it doesn't
work with these new Excel 2007 file types. I got the macro to add other
Excel files of old versions of Excel but not files in the Excel 2007 file
types.

Word 2007 Documents do appear on the list.

So far as I can tell, the issue is only with the new Excel 2007 file
formats: both regular and macro-enabled files.

Can anyone help?

How can I submit this as a bug to Microsoft?

Are they working on it now?

Thanks.

Jim.
