WD: Filename Not Added to Most Recently Used (MRU) List

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a

SYMPTOMS
When you open a file from a custom FileOpen macro or use the FileOpen command from a macro, the name of the opened file is not added to the most recently used (MRU) list unless you save the file before closing it.

CAUSE
The FileOpen command in Word 6.0 includes a parameter (.AddToMru) that is set to 0 (zero) by default. When it is set to 1, FileOpen adds the filename to the MRU list when you close the file without saving it.

RESOLUTION
To add the file to the MRU list when it is opened but not saved before closing, add the .AddToMru = 1 statement to your macro. Place this statement after the GetCurValues dlg statement as in the following example:

Sub MAIN Dim dlg As FileOpen GetCurValues dlg dlg.AddToMru = 1 Dialog dlg FileOpen dlg End Sub WARNING: ANY USE BY YOU OF THE CODE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
