For example: place one TextBox on your form (with a name Text1). Then try this code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
 
    'to get the value on load - if no value was saved before,
    'Text1.Text will equal vbNullString - the default value
    Text1.Text = GetSetting("myApp", "Settings", "TextBox", vbNullString)
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
 
    'to save the value on unload
    SaveSetting "myApp", "Settings", "TextBox", Text1.Text
    
End Sub

Run it once, type something, then stop the program. Then run it again. If everything works as it should, Text1.Text will equal what you wrote before.

SaveSetting and GetSetting stores information in HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software|VB and VBA Program Settings part of the registry.

If you want store information in different parts of the registry then you will need to use the Windows API. The main ones you will need to create/delete keys will be

RegCreateKeyEx
RegDeleteKey
RegCloseKey
RegOpenKeyEx
RegQueryValueEx
RegDeleteValue

There is an example module written in VB by Microsoft that is shipped with VB. I can't give an example because i am not to sure how to use them either but some should be able to tell you.

You should check out AllApi

Hope this helps
