    Re: startup program on pc start

    create a shortcut in the start > programs > startup folder,
    or create a registry entry in hkcu.software.microsoft.windows.currentversion.run
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
