unwanted old accounts showing on 'Select a File to Open screen

The 'Select a File to Open' screen is the first one to appear when I launch Solar Accounts displays a five part column of 'active link display boxes.

The top three boxes displaying the current Business File (last opened) BUT the next two boxes display Business Files that are no longer required. (The last two are 'Open a Different File' and 'Back to Main Menu'.)

I need to replace the links to the 'old, no longer required' with links to more up-to-date Business.files - How do I do this please?

Hi Andy,

To remove an entry from the 'recent files' list, the simplest solution is to close Solar Accounts and use Windows or Mac Finder to navigate to the Documents folder, then rename the Solar Accounts business data file.

Note that the 'recent files' list only shows the most recent file for any given business name. So for example, if you open two separate business data files each containing a company named 'ABC Supplies Ltd' then only the most recently opened file will appear in the 'recent files' list.

Regards,
