Close the workbook first, then go to open, right click on the workbook name
and select delete. HTH

Another guess at this.......you want to clear the Recently Used file list from
File menu.

Go to Tools>Options>General and set the RUF List to 0 and OK.

List now gone from File menu.

You can reset to a number if you wish.

I'm sorry, Bendgee, I don't quite understand the problem. Where are you
seeing "open workbooks (or tabs) - on the taskbar, recently used files on the
file menu, when you go to file>open?

Michael
Sorry but I'm new at this , What happened is that I tried 3 times to do a
cost layout of my utilities, I opened a new workbook each time, finally on
the fourth workbook entery I have what I want, Now I went back and removed
data from workbooks that I don't use but their names still show up when I
select file or under the heading open workbooks,, I DON'T want to lose the
good file that I have they all have seperate names, any suggestions

Bendgee, it sounds like my original suggestion will work. First, if the
files you don't want are still open, close them. Next, go to File > Open and
click on the file you don't want with the right mouse button and a menu will
appear. Click on delete and the file will be gone. If by chance you delete
the wrong file, open the recycle bin on your desktop and drag the file out.
I hope this helps.

Michael: still have a problem, when I try to open any of the workbooks that
I had originally started but removed everything but the title. my computer
says that it cannot find them and to check and make sure that they have not
been moved ,renamed or deleted. When I go to the dropdown menu ( under new
from existing workbooks) the titles do not appear they seem to be gone ,
what I want to do is remove the titles ,but I can't seem to find a way.
-- the computer won't let me do anything with them.
