Having trouble retrieving information using GetSetting

[r3b00t]

Im having trouble gettig information using GetSetting.
I have a list of details that is accessed by using the Submit button, the code i have for this goes like:

SaveSetting "Callbacks", "To Do", "Callback List", List1
' List info from text boxes in List1 with 5 spaces between each entry
frmCallbacks.List1.AddItem txtCaseRef.Text & Space(20) & txtDate.Text & Space(20) & txtTime.Text
' Clear all text boxes
txtCaseRef.Text = ""
txtDate.Text = ""
txtTime = ""
txtCaseRef.SetFocus

Which i thought should save the information in the listbox to the registry and then ive got a line of code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
List1 = GetSetting("Callbacks", "To Do", "Callback List", "List1&quot
End Sub

To load the information that had been saved to the registry but this just dont work, i know im doing something wrong, but what?

Any helpers please???

<SaveSetting &quot;Callbacks&quot;, &quot;To Do&quot;, &quot;Callback List&quot;, List1>
Will save just the current value of List1 not all the content of List1.

<List1 = GetSetting(&quot;Callbacks&quot;, &quot;To Do&quot;, &quot;Callback List&quot;, &quot;List1&quot>
That will just set List1 to the saved setting. If list1 is not aleady populated it will not do that for you.

You probably want to save each entry of List1, something like

SaveSetting &quot;Callbacks&quot;, &quot;To Do&quot;, &quot;Callback List Count&quot;, List1.List1.Count
for i = 0 to List1.Count-1
SaveSetting &quot;Callbacks&quot;, &quot;To Do&quot;, &quot;Callback List&quot; & i, List1.List(i)
next

And similarly to reload the list
Does that help?
