Is it possible to suppress the recently used file list from Access 97? I've
just discovered that even if you hide the database window and lock it so that
the user can't get in by holding down the shift key, the user is still able
to open the whole thing, completely unprotected, simply by selecting it twice
in succession from the recently used file list on the File menu.

Seems absolutely ridiculous to me...
 
It sounds, then, as though your database isn't properly secured, as that
should have no bearing on how it opens.

For Access 97, the MRU is stored as up to four values (MRU1, MRU2, MRU3 and
MRU4) in the registry at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Access\Settings

Simply delete the entries.
