MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2006Recent File List not there
In Office Pro/Excel 2000 I have Options set to show the last 9 files used, but lately there have been none showing if I haven't opened Excel for more than a day or two. I never heard of this being time delimited before. Any suggestions? RM Do you have a little character pointing down at the bottom of the File menu? If so, try clicking on it and see if your file list reappears.

I haven't computed it exactly, but two or three days seems to be the limit. Got me puzzled. Gene >Do you have a little character pointing down at the bottom of the File >menu?

I don't think the timing is right, but perhaps it's getting deleted during the process of running an "unnecessary" files clean-up program. Thanks. RM I don't know where the information might be saved. One other idea. Are your recent files saved on a network drive? If so, try saving a file to the C: drive and see if it shows up. > >Do you have a little character pointing down at the bottom of the File > >menu?
