I have been trying to get the registry functions to work to no avail.

I admit to being a bit dense sometimes, but after carefully reading throug the functions and the sample code it's still all greek to me.

The following is part of the code for the GetKeyValue() function:

LPARAMETER cValueName,cKeyValue

LOCAL lpdwReserved,lpdwType,lpbData,lpcbData,nErrCode
STORE 0 TO lpdwReserved,lpdwType
STORE SPACE(256) TO lpbData
STORE LEN(m.lpbData) TO m.lpcbData

DO CASE
CASE TYPE("THIS.nCurrentKey")#'N' OR THIS.nCurrentKey = 0
	RETURN ERROR_BADKEY

And that's as far as it ever gets.

The nCurrentKey is initially 0 and I dont see it being set anywhere, and it's not part of the parameters, so how does this work and what's the value supposed to be?

We used to have lots of (not always very good) code samples in VFP Help butn it seems like a lot of that went down the drain with VFP7.

Anyway,

TIA
