You can also use Registry class from FFC. It's based on Windows API functions.

>> I have exactly such an local error handler but the code in the forms Error method still executes. Is it not possible to bypass the forms Error method and just letting the local error handler handle the error ?
I have added the "CASE nError = 1429" into the forms Error method just to avoid
getting the messagebox with the error message.
