"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

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
TOOLS>CUSTOMIZE.

Could you point me in the right direction in MS Help?

thnx

Tools>Customize>Commands>Macros

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 Tools>Customize 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.

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
