Richard,

No problem at all.  There are some of built-in registry read/write
functions, but they are not very flexible.  I have a module that
contains code for reading and writing anywhere from the registry.  I can
post it here or send it offline if you like.

The path to msaccess.exe is already stored in the registry in here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\MSACCESS.EXE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

contains subkeys which list the paths to most of your installed
software.

Seth
