You should always be ALLOWED to read the registry, that is, you shouldn't expect a crash, but I can imagine some scenarios where you might not be able to successfully get what you want...
1) The value doesn't exist 2) The value has a security profile that doesn't allow you to read it 3) The value is in the process of being created 4) The value has changed, but changes have not been flushed yet (committed)
but there is
5) You're reading not from the standard registry but a standalone registry elsewhere (yes, there can be multiples) and the one you want to get at can't be accessed for whatever reason (doesn't exist, no permission to read, etc.)

Hi list...
I've never done anything with the registry before, and I'm wondering if there is any situation in which my Lingo would be prevented from reading values out of it using buddyAPI's baReadRegString or baReadRegNumber? I imagine that writing to the registry can be prevented by a computer's security settings, but here I'm just reading some values.
Thanks, Michael M.
