    Help getting dynamic menu of files to work

    Hi there.

    Can someone help me please. I have some code that loads all the files in a directory to a dynamic menu on the ribbon. On the first press it works fine - loads about 10 files. But when I press the refresh button it only loads one file (when there are about 10). Is it something to do with clearing my variables? Help!

    Private Sub GetContent(control As IRibbonControl, ByRef returnedVal)
    'Populate a menu item
    Dim sXML As String
    Dim lFiles As Long
    Dim lFileCount As Long
    Dim objFile As Object
    Dim objFiles As Object
    Dim fso As Object
    Dim strUserTemplatesPath As String
    strUserTemplatesPath = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath)

    'Set error handling
    On Error GoTo CloseTags
    'Open the XML string
    sXML = "<menu xmlns=""XXXXXX"">" 'XXXX denotes html code that I needed to take out for this post
    Stop
    'Check for files in the directory
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFiles = fso.GetFolder(strUserTemplatesPath).Files
    'Cycle through files, adding Word template files to the menu
    For Each objFile In objFiles
    If LCase(Left(objFile.Name, 3)) = "sfs" And InStr(objFile.Name, "&") < 1 Then
    lFiles = lFiles + 1
    sXML = AddButtonXML(sXML, "Button" & lFiles, False, objFile.Path, _
    False, objFile.Name, False, True, "FileNew", "btnCentral")
    Debug.Print vbCrLf & sXML
    'Add the file path to a collection of objects for later retrieval
    Dim sFileTip As New clsFilePaths
    sFileTip.sFilePath = objFile.Path
    FilePaths.Add Item:=sFileTip, Key:=CStr(lFiles)
    Set sFileTip = Nothing
    End If
    Next objFile
    CloseTags:
    'Add refresh button and close the menu tag
    sXML = sXML & "<button id=""RefreshTemplateList"" label=""Refresh List"" imageMso=""RecurrenceEdit"" onAction=""DynamicMenu_onAction""/> "
    'Close the menu string
    sXML = sXML & "</menu>"
    'Return the completed XML to the RibbonUI
    returnedVal = sXML
    End Sub
