Access 2007 Lost "Most Recent Database" List

[Jim Dudley]

My "Most recent Database" List became cluttered with many similar names and I
found it confusing so I deleted the entries thinking it would start to build
the list over, It did not. How can I re-initialize this feature?

Look for the key "MRU" in the registry. Each computer is a bit different, so
I'd first go to someone else in your network and try to find the Access MRU
list in their registry.

I am using a trial version of Access 2007 with Windows XP Pro. I found the
MRU in the Registry under Office, Access but what should the setting be to
make this function work again? I am standalone so cannot check others on
Network.

Thank you

There is no registry setting except to display/delete the list of files. If
you click on the Pizza button in the upper left hand corner of the Access
window, you should be able to find the Access Option to set the size (0 to
9) of the MRU list.
