"Thank you! Thank you! I just finished reading this document, which was part of a link in the recent Buzz newsletter. I have printed it for others to read, especially those skeptical on the powers of Access and its capabilities." - Darren D. |

Custom Registry Settings in Access
Provided by: Steve Clark, Senior Project Manager
To store a value to the registry, use the SaveSetting command in VBA.
For example:
SaveSetting appname:="MyApp", Section:="Startup", _
Key:="Top", setting:=75
This statement will make a new Key named "MyApp", a sub key named "Startup", a String value named "Top" with a value of "75" in the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\
To view the change to the registry, click on the Window Start Button and click the Run... option. Enter: Regedit and click OK. The registry will open, and you can browse the tree to locate the entry. (Don't delete or modify anything, as it may have detrimental effects on your system!)
To delete the registry keys that you made, use:
DeleteSetting "MyApp", "Startup"
To retrieve your custom settings, you can use the GetSetting or the GetAllSettings commands.
See the Access Help File for more information.
