Scott and Phil,
Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your help with this. It
turned out to be a simple thing (don't they all ;-) It seems you do
need the final backslash, and you don't need the "quote & ... &
quote". My problem was in limiting the text string to "word 1 to
-2", which wasn't required for what I was trying to do. Anyway, you
definitely CAN pass the registry key info in the form of a variable!
Thanks again.
Craig
