Writing Registry Values from Access 2007 VBA on Vista

[codeman]

Hi,

porting an Access 2003 application running on Windows XP to Access
2007 on a Vista machine I'm running into a problem. The application
uses Registry API calls to access (read/write) values into the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \... entry for JET settings and others.
The program is converted to Access 2007 and I made a mde file to run
it on a Vista machine under Access 2007 Runtime. Access to the
Registry for the mentioned entry results in an "Access denied" error.

I understand that is has to do with the tighter security of Vista.

In genaral, is there a way to write Registry values, creating keys
etc. to the Registry of Vista that are now under security of Vista
using VBA?


Thanks
