Thanks just two more Q's
[list=1]
[*]If i say use GetSetting to retrive a setting in the registry, how would i put the value retrieved into a variable? eg, into a variable called SettingValue
[*]If i would like an installer to create default values for a MySettingName, where should this be created?
[/list]

Dim value As Variant
value = GetSetting("MyAppName", "MySettingName")

And please don't double-post - edit.

2. If i would like an installer to create default values for a MySettingName, where should this be created?

Edit: Double post deleted

Just beware of using Variants - the lack of type checking can be the source of errors later.

1.  You would use something like.....

code:

---

SaveSetting "MyAppName","Settings","SettingName","SettingValue")

---

2.  I assume you mean if you're using an insatller such as NSIS or Inno Setup, in which case the path is:

quote:

---

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\MyAppName\Settings

---

even if you don't use the variants, type checking in VB is incredibly limited...

quote:

---

SaveSetting ("MyAppName", "MySettingName", "MySettingValue")


GetSetting ("MyAppName", "MySettingName")

---

When typing the SaveSetting code, when i move i think im finished and i move to the next line i get the following messager

quote:

---

Comile Error:

Expected: =

---

What am i doing wrong?

My SaveSetting Code is a followed

code:

---

SaveSetting(app.ProductName, "LastVolLevel", SettingsLastVol)

---

app.productname is my application name
SettingsLastVol is the value from a Global variable that needs to be entered into the Value of that setting. I hope i explained myself properly.

Thanks in advance
