Delete "Open Recent Database" List

[cuig]

How can I delete the list of Open Recent Database that appears when I statt
ACCESS?

Some of them are files which no longer exist.

Thanks.

They don't do any harm but if they annoy you, use Tools...Options... General
to set the Recently Used Files to zero. Close and open Access and set it back
to the desired number (or leave it at zero if you prefer).

RESOLVED.

I'd forgotten to look in the Registry.

Hi John,
Your answer applies to Access 2003 or older versions. How can one set the
Recently Used Files to 0 in Access 2007? I checked all available options but
could not find it.
Thanks

Don't know because I haven't yet installed it - my clients are still using
2003 and I'm reluctant to have both versions on, since they don't "play nice"
(unlike previous versions).
