Access Database

[cbbob]

I am a new user of Access 2007. I have made a database and now want to delete
it. The database was saved to "My Documents". I deleted it from "My
Documents" but when I go to Access and select open, on that "Recent
Documents" it still ahows there.
How can I delete it from there?

It will go away all by itself as you open other databases. Or you can click
on Tools, Options, General and chenge the 'Recently used file list' to a
lower number than the placement of the file on the display list. Click Apply
and then Ok.

Redo the setting the the number you had before.

If you have 4 db's on the recent list, change the count to 3, the last entry
goes away. But when you restore the count to 4, it comes back! The only sure
way is to delete the registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\XX.0\Access\Settings\MRUn

Where XX is the Office version no: 10 for 2002, 11 for 2003, 12 for 2007.

There are three keys for each entry:
MRUn = path\name
MRUDaten
MRUFlagsn

I believe the registry always keeps track of the last 9 MRU's; the option
setting controls how many of those 9 are displayed.
