>>A .REG file is by default handled by the default registry editor for the OS (REGEDIT or REGEDT32 depending on OS) and can be used to create registry keys or values, but cannot delete keys or values. It has an OLE "OPEN" action associated with it through the registry, like a .DOC file or .DBF file, or for that matter, a script file of some sort supported by the WSH or a similar tool. To delete as well as create, you need to create an .INF file; see the MSDN Library for documentation on the syntax and structure of a .INF file.

>Thanks for the heads up on deleting a key. I just exported that key (from REGEDIT), changed it's value to "N" and then was able to "run" the exported reg file just fine. This only seemed to happen on my W98 box, my W95 and W2K boxes didn't need the fix.

You can use the WSH's Wscript.Shell COM object - it has methods to create and delete registry entries, and can be called from inside VFP. I have no clue where the docs might be on that puppy; you might try the sites in my sig, or the articles from me and George on the WSH at www.vfug.org
