Recent File List not there

[romat]

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?

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 guess that was an obvious first answer but no, it's real and
recurring. I haven't computed it exactly, but two or three days seems
to be the limit. Got me puzzled.

Where is the file information saved? 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.

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.

No, no network drive. Home set up, files saved on C:\My Excel Files.

Sheesh, RM, I'm fresh out of ideas. I'd suspect some kind of Windows
thing, or maybe an Office thing, not an Excel thing, but I really don't
know. Maybe someone else has a suggestion. Good luck! James

Since nothing else has worked to date for you maybe have a look at this google
search result pointing to Tweakui as a possible offender.

I didn't think Excel 2000 was affected, but who knows...........?
