You're specifying a key without a value assigned to it. If you open regedit and look at any key (not value) that key will have an entry called (Default). This entry determines whether there is a value associated with the key or not. If the (Default) says (value not set) it means there's no corresponding default value for the key itself. Here's a VB function that was posted by one of the MS MVP guys on USENET that checks for the existence of a key: Function RegKeyExists(ByVal sRegKey) ' Returns True or False based on the existence of a registry key. Dim sDescription, oShell Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") RegKeyExists = True sRegKey = Trim (sRegKey) If Not Right(sRegKey, 1) = "\" Then sRegKey = sRegKey & "\" End If On Error Resume Next oShell.RegRead "HKEYNotAKey\" sDescription = Replace(Err.Description, "HKEYNotAKey\", "") Err.Clear oShell.RegRead sRegKey RegKeyExists = sDescription <> Replace(Err.Description, sRegKey, "") On Error Goto 0 End Function Since I'm not much of a VB scripter myself, although I've been writing Windows apps since the 1.x days of Windows, I can't completely verify that it works. Based on my crude understanding of VB, though, it does a test failure, strips the key from the error description, tests the key you're looking for, strips the key from that error description, then compares the two error descriptions. Seems a bit like overkill to me (since in the Win32 API you just call RegQueryKey() and then test for failure) but it looks like it works. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.wpkg.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
