SaveSetting Error

[lintz]

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 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

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

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
