Believe it or not, I'm just getting around to using your answer! I'm only working on this in my spare time.<br />
<br />
You said above:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;' *** Note: &nbsp;The form must contain a menu control array <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;' *** &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;named mnuMRUFiles that is at least as big <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;' *** &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;as Number. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure how to do this, can you explain?<br />
<br />
Many thanks.<br />

Recent Files List in File Menu

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
