Two Things

1. How do you test to see if a document is open on an MDI form ?

2.File association, i know which bits in the reg to edit but they have to be the parts of the reg that are normally called 'default' and i cannot write to them using vb. it just creates a new bit.

To write to the (Default) section, simply do not specify a value to save to, for example, let's assume that you use a function called SaveRegistry to save to the Registry.

Code:

---

'We do not specify a value therefor it's saved to the (Default) value
SaveRegistry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "MyPath", "", "MyData"

---
