Write to registry problem

[Tim]

Hi folks,

I used the following code to read and write a value from and to registry in
Access 2002. But it put the value to “HKeys_Users\...\VB and VBA Program
Settings\â€. Could anyone tell me how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Tim.

SaveSetting "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe", "Acrobat PDFWriter",
"bExecViewer", 0
Debug.Print GetSetting(appname:="Adobe", Section:="Acrobat PDFWriter", _
Key:="bExecViewer", Default:=0)

The built-in SaveSetting and GetSetting functions always write and read
from a particular subtree. as you've noted. If you want to work with a
different part of the registry, you can probably adapt Karl Peterson's
VB code posted here:

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your quick respone. But I don't have VB install in my system. I
can't view the code. Do you have some code write in VBA?

Thanks in advance.

His class module is near as dammit to VBA. Just delete the first few
"VB ish" lines, the rest will probably be AOK.

Remember that microsoft are tightening up on where you can write in the
registry. For example, HKLM/Software/<company>/<product> used to be
fine, but in windows xp and later, you can't write there fom a
non-Administrative account, unless you change the default permissions
on that key.

IOW, just open the .cls file with notepad.

Hi TC,

I imported the file to my database. When I compiled the module, I got error
message “variable not define†and “App†was highlighted. Could you help me
to fix it?

Thanks for your time.

Tim.

Dirk,

Thanks for your response. I still can't get it even I follow your
direction.

Dirk,

Thanks for your response. I still can't get it even I follow your
direction.

So what have you got? If you post the code you're using and tell what
errors you're getting, we can probably figure out how to fix it.
