The option is ticked for up to 9 files. The list normally lasts for a
week or two and then disappears. Is there any thing else I can try?

I'm pretty sure that some anti-adware programs (like Ad-Aware) can wipe out
recent-used-file lists if you set them to clean aggressively, instead of just
clearing "critical" threats. Could that be your situation?

Does that help?

For Excel 2002 and 2003............

Are you running TweakUI?

If so, you may have disabled the MRU lists by unchecking "maintain document
history list" under the Explorer tab.

Read more here for this and other suggestions..........

I use Ad-Aware. I will alter setting to see what happens. Many thanks.
