hi,

the simplest way to do this is :

1/ GetSetting(name, section, key, def)
this call will read the entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\name\section\key from the registry.

2/ SaveSetting (name, section, key, val)
this call will create or set (if key exist) the value to val in the entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\name\section\key

you can do what Samir has sujested for you

but with Samir's method you can create/read/write keys in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings key only

there is an other way to do that, it's complicated but useful :

goto this :

you'll find a good thing about your question (i'm sure)
