Registry error codes

[Dwaine]

Where can I find a result code descriptions corresponding to return values from registry api calls? A return of 0 is successful, but anything else means...???

This lists all of WINERROR.H

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q186/0/63.ASP

Scroll down not quite halfway to the entry whose code is:

-2147221168 (80040150)

That's where the registry errors start.

Perhaps I should not have said 'error codes'. The result codes I'm receiving if I cannot create a key or set a key's value is 2 or 6, etc. not quite the long error codes explained in winerror.h

Damned if it doesn't do that, and I couldn't find anything anywhere (as you probably know already). It would appear all that's left is to force errors and see what comes back.

Nice to know I'm not too nuts after almost 15 years in the business... thx for your timely response...:)
