SaveSetting and GetSetting - How?

[SteveC24]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me out...

I would like to use the GetSetting function to check if a value exists in the registry.

How do I do this? I have looked at the help file, and that has just confused me more!!!

Once I do get it, how do I go about putting the value it digs up into a text box, or message box, or whatever, and how do I check if it is true or not?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

To me, GetSetting/SaveSetting are limited. I perfor to do this by using API functions. Check this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q145679 out.

Hope not to confuse you even more.

Thank you for your reply.

I have just given it a quick skim-read and it has totally baffled me - LOL!

I will give it a proper read, and come back moaning if I still don't understand it!!!
It has lots of examples, so I should be fine!

Thanks very much again

Just follow the example step by step and you'll understand soon. There are lots of code involved. Just copy and paste in Access. Feel free to discuss more.

Ok - after some fiddling I got it working, managed to create myself a registry file or three, and read from them, and others, and set values etc.....wasn't nearly as hard as I thought!

Now I am onto my typical stage of making it harder for myself!

I would really like to call multiple values from the registry at once. How possible do we think this is? How might I go about it?

This isn't essential, but it would be kinda cool if I could get it working!

Thanks in advance!
