Where in windows/access is the recently opened Dbs kept?

It's kept in the registry. Where exactly depends on your version of Access.
If you have Access 2016 or later, it can be in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Access\File MRU

or in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Access\User MRU\<LiveId>\File MRU

where <LiveID> is a very long string identifying your Microsoft account.

Well I have 2007 which is 12.0. I get to 12.0/access/ and then to access connectivity or security or settings. Opening up all of them I only find information in settings. There is an other tree called Open Find with MSO Access/settings/file open and that has a hex string about 15 characters long.

How about

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\File MRU

[bknight]

No such tree entry.

Here is a screen shot of the registry.
The first is stating at12.0 the second is below the top image.

My apologies that I couldn't help you. I hope that someone else who still has Office 2007 knows.

No problem.

I looked at Excel and there is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\File MRU
Just not with Access.

Mine is at

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Settings

FWIW, all I did was search for the first file on the list.

[bknight]

Yes that is where mine are at. If you look at the images I just clicked on settings tree without selecting settings. Worked great along with your suggestion of searching the name.
Thanks
