Sorry I don't understand what you are asking. What does remain visible mean? You leave multiple databases open? Or you just have shortcuts on your desktop? What is disappearing, your databases or the settings?

Could be a lot of outside influence on this too. Is this your personal machine or a company machine? Does your company have any Ephemeral virtual machines or terminals that your logging into? Any more information would help.

You could also create shortcuts to them and add them to your desktop, task bar, a folder of your choice.

I've never seen that happen before, but honestly, I never use that list. I put shortcuts to any databases that I work on on a regular basis on my desktop or I drop them in my database folder and then I just open up that folder. I don't think I've used that previous file list for any app other than Word. Maybe Excel.

Alex great minds. :)

What Alex said.  Your back-ups can show up in that "recent database" list also.  It's pretty easy to accidently open a back-up and be working in there.  Using shortcuts eliminates that issue.

Thanks, everyone. Shortcuts on the desktop is a great idea. Was just curious if anyone else has experienced that problem.

Kevin Kevin that is exactly what I was talking about. I placed amounts in both of those and made sure I clicked the squares and it works but once you shut the computer down it is gone the next day. I honestly think that last update had an issue. So the suggestions of making shortcuts on the desktop is a great idea till that gets adjusted.
