Sub PrintMRU
   Dim MyBar As CommandBarControl ' declare MyBar as CommandBarControl
   Dim MyBar2 As CommandBarControl ' declare MyBar2 as CommandBarControl
   Set MyBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls("File").Controls("Recent W&ebs") 'Sets MyBar as the MRU
   For Each MyBar2 In MyBar.Controls ' This For..Next Loop prints 
      Debug.Print MyBar2.Caption    ' Each Item (MyBar2) in the MRU (MyBar)
