Recently used file list

The recently used file list in Excel does not reliably
display all most recently used files. Settings under
Tools/Options/General is set for 9 files. While the list
contains 9 files, recent ones that I've opened, then
closed do not appear. Some do. Some don't. Anyone know
what's going on?

Depends on the version of excel.

In xl97, if you opened the file from Windows explorer, then it didn't appear in
the MRU list.

In xl2002, it does.

(I don't recall xl2k's behavior.)

But if you did a File|Open, they should appear in that list in all versions
(IIRC).
