Saving to registry..........

[hipopony66]

I need to save some very simple things in my program to the registry. Can someone post a short example of how to Read and write to the windows registry? Also, are there any differences with this in Windows XP? All I need to save is whether or not a a checkbox is checked or not. Then when I load the program get the registery setting and set the checkbox value to that. To be honest, I don't need to save settings much in the small apps I make, and I have forgotten how to do this! I had a module of how to use Get & Save setting in one of my programs, but it was lost when I cleaned up my system and upgraded to Win XP. Any example appreciated.

You could just use the built in registry functions:

'Save setting
Call SaveSetting(App.EXEName, "General", _
  "Checkbox Value", CheckBox1.Value)
'Get Setting
CheckBox1.Value = GetSetting(App.EXEName, _
  "General", "Checkbox Value", vbChecked)
