[ProBani]

hello there,

I want to access registry and to assign permission to a domain user domain_name\start.sql into this regisrty keys:

1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\Services\MSSQLServer
3.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib

-Read and write registry keys to and under abow paths.

can this be done through a vb application?

Thanks a lot,

Yes you need to add API functions for WriteIni and Readini, if you use the VBAPI viewer plug-in, and open the the default API think its WINAPI.
In here you should find calls similiarily named to what I have said, might actually be something like WritePrivateProfileString

Have a look at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/sysinfo/base/writeprivateprofilestring.asp

It should show more info.

WriteIni and ReadIni functions access initialisation files (.INI), NOT the registry.

If you want to access the registry then use the set of APIs that start with Reg. Look here for more detail and examples of use:
