If you only need to read the value and you are using D4 or up try opening the key with OpenKeyReadOnly. OpenKey tries to open the key with read/write access which causes a problem it the user doesn't have write permissions to the key. If you are using Delphi 3 or less I think you can use TRegistry.Access to set the access to KEY_READ. -----Original Message----- From: David O'Brien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 21 September 2000 3:07 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Win 2000 and the Registry We have a number of apps that read keys from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. A client has upgraded their site to Win2000, and unless they are an administrator, cannot use our software. The keys return BLANK for a normal user. If a normal user runs Regedit, they can see the key is there and correct. But we cannot read the key programmatically. Any Ideas?
