[RESOLVED] Registry Code Error - Type Mismach

[dclamp]

I get a "Type Mismatch" for this line of code:

If RegReadSZ(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strSubKey, "Reg_FirstTime", strRet) <> "No" Then

What function does RegReadSZ do?

I've had that error in the past when a reg key doesn't exist so I've used this. (using your example)

Dim sKey as String
 
sKey = RegReadSZ(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strSubKey, "Reg_FirstTime", strRet)
 
If sKey <> "" Then
 
    If sKey <> "No" Then
    'do your stuff
    End If
 
End If

That looks awfully like some code I've created at some time. If it is, then RegReadSZ returns a Long error code. The string Value "No" (or whatever) is returned in strRet. (It's just my way of returning a code as well as a Value)
