Excel 2000 recently used files
Win98SE, Excel 2000. When I doubleclick on an XL file in Windows Explorer, it
opens in Excel, but it doesn't get added to the list of recently used files. This is a new misbehaviour. Can it be fixed. (Files opened in XL using the "Open" dialog DO get added to the recently used files list.) Thank you for your right-on answers to my two previous questions, which solved three problems! -CCBobbi |

Excel 2000 recently used files
If an .XLS associated file is opened by d/clicking,
Excel normally ignores it. If you use File Open command, the file will be listed. Also most of cleaning utilities will also delete the all recently used files. Also check Tools Options General Tab (Recently used files list) "ccbobbi" wrote in message ... Win98SE, Excel 2000.

Excel 2000 recently used files
Hi, AAH-
I don't believe the first part of your answer is correct. Excel used to add such files to the "recently used files" list until recently. Furthermore, Word still does add files opened by doubleclicking to that list, and the behaviour should be the same in both programs. -ccbobbi "AAH" wrote: If an .XLS associated file is opened by d/clicking, Excel normally ignores it.

Excel 2000 recently used files
Try by using the command File Save
'Save As' will overwrite the file and will list it. "ccbobbi" wrote in message ... Hi, AAH- I don't believe the first part of your answer is correct.

Excel 2000 recently used files
Oh, now I see: I have to "save as" instead of just "save". Yes, that works.
Thank you very much! (Not the same in Word, though. They used to work the same.) "AAH" wrote: Try by using the command File Save 'Save As' will overwrite the file and will list it.

Excel 2000 recently used files
It should work with "Save" command as well.
Might be some component of Excel may be required to re-install it. It works fine with Excel 5. Mine Excel 97 is not fully installed with all components. "ccbobbi" wrote in message ...
