For the last several years, I have used MzTools within the Access editor, and grown so addicted to it that it's hard to imagine a VbA-progamming life without it. I've customized its templates to my liking, I've added new templates for such snippets as declaring and manipulating DAO and ADO recordsets, etc. Recently I updated the OS on my laptop to Windows 7. After that, I attempted to install MzTools (which is accomplished by opening a command window and then running the command "regsvr32 mztools3vba.dll". To my shock and horror, I received a message saying that mztools was loaded but not registered in the registry. Which means ultimately that Access won't know it's there. Has anyone faced this problem and discovered a workaround? Strangely enough, MzTools runs fine on my desktop, which runs Windows Server 2008. I searched its registry and found two items: MZTools3VBA.Connect MZTools3VBA.UserDocumentResults Might it work if I manually enter these nodes and their values in the Windows 7 registry? I'm afraid to work directly with the registry since it's risky. Any advice is appreciated. In the worst case, I suppose that I can copy the MDB of interest back to my desktop, run Access and MZTools there and update the headers etc., then copy it back to my laptop, but that choice leaves a bad taste in my mouth. TIA, Arthur
