Using registry value as a variable in my subroutine??

[ntauzin]

Hi-

I need to locate a registry value (it is a path, c:\folder, for example) and then use it in a sub. How do I do that?

The sub is a command button that will be deleting files in that directory. But since the directory location is not always the same I want to use the location that is specified in the registry.

Any suggestions?

If it is a registry setting that is set by your application then you can use

SaveSetting

and

GetSetting

There is documentation in the help on these.

If you need to read another value then you'll have to use the API to read it

It's not set by my application, it is an existing key value.

Another related question - how do I delete a registry value?

I would suggest that you look into the following Win32 API calls which provide a good deal of functionality against the Registry.

RegCreateKeyEx
RegOpenKeyEx
RegSaveKey
RegDeleteKey

Good Luck
