Hey Seth, I would be interested in this myself. I was trying to figure out how to store a value used for a program, and I was having trouble using a table. Basically, I wrote a program about a year or so ago, that tracks mileage and creates a report for compansation. The rate per mile changes every three months or so...actually they usually only change it annually...and I had to hard code it to get it out. Coincidentally, today I had to get into it and update it...the rate just dropped from .365 to .360. It would be nice to store this somewhere. Thanks John W Clark >>> sgsax at ksu.edu 02/13/03 10:15AM >>> 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.
