AddToRecentFiles not functioning

[duGly]

I am using VBA with Word 2003. I have a procedure which creates new documents, then opens them for programmatic editing. It then saves and closes the document.

Even though I have the AddToRecentFiles property set to false, the new documents still get added to my recent files list. Has anyone encountered this problem before and found a workaround?

    Set m_Doc = Documents.Open(FileName:=m_strFileLocation & strDocumentName, _
        AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)

In fact the new documents are not added to the File menu list.

Actually, that's exactly where they are getting added: the File menu list of recently opened documents. This is what I'd like to avoid.

Here's my code:

    ' Copy and rename document.
    m_fsObject.CopyFile m_strSource & strSourceFile, m_strFileLocation
    m_fsObject.GetFile(m_strFileLocation & strSourceFile).Name = strDocumentName

    ' Set m_Doc to newly created document and open it.
    Set m_Doc = Documents.Open(FileName:=m_strFileLocation & strDocumentName, _
        AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)

When you open the document with AddToRecentFiles:=False, it is not added to the MRU list. This happens when you save it. Use SaveAs with AddToRecentFiles:=False.

Cool! Thank you so much!
