Recent Files used - Excel 2000
I've got my "Recent" settings set at nine but only FOUR will ever show up.
Does anybody know why? Also, when I do a Search and open and update an Excell file, it doesn't show up in the "Recent" list. Does anybody know the reason for this? Thanks, Doug |

How are you opening them - via shortcuts in Explorer, or using File / Open.
I 'think' that earlier versions of Excel only added to the MRU when using file / Open - Not 100% sure though, and am sat on a laptop at the moment so don't have all the versions installed that I do on my desktop to be able to check. -- Regards Ken.......................

Thanks Ken,
I open them both ways: Explorer and File/Open. It just seems that it won't budge off the FOUR counter Do you know of a site at Microsoft where I might find the answer??

To be honest, unless you want to pay for a support incident then you are
pretty much where you would normally need to be. What happens if you change it to 3 or 2 for example, check that it has taken effect, and then try a number above 4? Regards Ken...................

Thanks Ken,
I'll try that. I'll be gone today but I'll give it a try later and get back to you. Doug "Ken Wright" wrote in message ...

Hi Ken,
You had a good idea! That seemed to "knock it loose." Thanks for your suggestion. Doug "Ken Wright" wrote in message ...
