This is an error from the control itself indicating that something is wrong; the message is coming from the COM server, not a generic interface. It's time to ask the people who wrote the server what's needed and how to set it up - there's no 'generic' answer to this problem.

I posted sample code for using the FFC Registry class in VFP6 - if you're using an earlier version, you'll need to write/download an equivalent class and duplicate what's in the sample code, or rely on (yet another) ActiveX component that handles the registry to do it for you - the Windows Scripting Host's Wscript.Shell automation object has registry access methods, but that's yet another thing that has to be instlaled, and can't be auto-installed with Setup Wizard - it's present on Win98/Win2K systems and on Win95/WinNT 4 systems that have had IE 4 or later installed on them. Unfortunately, to check to see if the WSH is installed, you need to check HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wscript.Shell to make sure it exists...
There are downloadable classes for registry manipulation in the Files Section here on UT, but you'll need to figure out the exact syntax depending on which one you use - there is no fixed standard for a registry 'class' since it isn't native to VFP...
