    Resolved [RESOLVED] SaveSetting() and GetSetting() simple question

    Since when using SaveSetting() in VB the data is stored in \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\ProgName of the registry, will SaveSetting still work if the user doesn't have VB installed? Will SaveSetting() create "VB and VBA Program Settings" in the registry if it isn't there?

    Yes I will

    if a user doesn't have vb installed it will creat the "VB and VBA Program Settings" folder, oyu can make it save in the normal place for more softwares :
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software with no "VB and VBA Program Settings" subfolder

    Yes you can get it to save your settings under any key in the registry but not without using the registry API functions. The GetSetting and SaveSetting functions only work on the above mentioned key.
