Default Remove recent files

Is it possible to remove all or individual "recent files" from the
"Recent files list" in MS Access XP?

It would be preferred to be a programatic method using VBA as the
system is locked down tight and editing registry will not be an
option.

I am trying to have code run when closing "database x" to ensure
"database x" does not appear in the recent files list.

I have been unable to dig up much information on the subject.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Nathan

Default Re: Remove recent files

Further to my previous message:

The instructions for manually disabling the recent file list are as
follows:
---------
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
2. Clear the Recently used files check box, and then click OK.
3. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
4. Select the Recently used files check box, and then click OK.
---------
Is it possible to automate this using the "CommandBars" reference?

I cannot work out the syntax, but I assume it is something along the
lines of the following example:

CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Options")....
..enabled = false


I hope someone out there can assist.

Regards,

Nathan
