SaveSetting Error

When using the below code to save a registration key for our app, a new user (I can't replciate it) is getting a runtime error 5 message.

For the life of me I can't see how the error is being generated :confused: I could add "On Error Resume Next" but each time the user opens the program it will ask for a registration key again which we can't have happen?

MSDN states "An error occurs if the key setting can’t be saved for any reason." Not very helpful :ehh:

Does the user need to have admin privilages for the key to be saved in the registry? Any suggestions?

VB Code:

Private Sub SaveRegSetting(sRegText As String)
                    
      SaveSetting "ProgramName", "Registration", "Entry", sRegText
 
End Sub

Start>>Run>>RegEdit>>menu Edit>>Permissions... and see what it says.

Thanks gavio, I'll get the user to check and modify if required.

Well, if he's in a RESTRICTED group then by default he doesn't have full control (he can only read). I don't have any accounts but mine so i really can't try...

gavio, I modified my account to deny any keys being saved and got the same runtime error when trying to save anything to the registry.

I think permissions is the prob so will contact the user to change their settings and try again.

Thanks :thumb:
