Recently Used File List

[MISAdmin]

I recently upgraded to Office2003 and the Recently Used file List option is
greyed out and not available. How do I get it back??

Try Tools/Options/General. Check the Recently used file list checkbox,
and make sure the number of files to show is > 0

Are you running TweakUI?

If so, you may have disabled the MRU lists by unchecking "maintain document
history list" under the Explorer tab.

Thank you but as I stated in my Q, the option is greyed out

Thanks but I find no Explorer tab" anywhere in Excel. I am not running tweak
UI, all I did was upgrade from Off 2000, I had set the Recently Used File
list to the max, 9.

Ok, I followd the link you provided and made a change to the registry as the
article explained. That allowed the option in Excel to be available but
still no recently used Excel files would show up. So I went back to the same
place in the registry and changed all the keys that referenced file displays
and now it works. I appreciate the link as I was able to get back something
that MS took away.

Thank you for your help.
