RegSetValueEx not working

[jsaxon2]

I getting an error "Access Denied" trying to change a value in the resistry. I am logged on a Win2K PC with administrative privleges. What am I doing wrong???

TCHAR szData[80];
sprintf(szData, _T("sa&quot);

if(m_bprod)
{
HKEY hKey;
if (ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, TEXT("Software\\ODBC\\ODBC.INI\\Medsmgrprod&quot, 0L, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey))
{
int i = RegSetValueEx(hKey, // subkey handle
"LastUser", // value name
0, // must be zero
REG_SZ, // value type
(LPBYTE)szData, // pointer to value data
lstrlen(szData) + 1); // length of value data

RegCloseKey(hKey);

}

}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE requires Adminstrator privledges for writing

I have in the Administrators group. I can change the value using regedit.

sorry i missed that in your first post.

KEY_QUERY_VALUE

you need to open the key with more flags than that!
