>You need to first open the key using the OpenKey() method. If you do not specify a key it defaults to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Here's an example:

lckey = "Excel.Application\CurVer"
>SET CLASSLIB TO REGISTRY.VCX ADDITIVE
>oReg = CREATEOBJECT("Registry")
>RELEASE CLASSLIB REGISTRY
>IF oReg.OpenKey(lckey) = 0 && No error
>  lcvalue = ""
>  IF oReg.GetKeyValue("", @lcvalue) = 0 && No error
>    ? lcvalue
>  ENDIF
>  oReg.CloseKey()
>ENDIF

George,

It works fine, but if I purely as an example do the following:

lckey = "Environment\Temp"                && That's ok, right?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER=-2147483647             && Nothing wrong with that? 
? oReg.OpenKey(lckey,HKEY_CURRENT_USER)=0 && Returns .F.

oReg.OpenKey(lckey,HKEY_CURRENT_USER,.F.)=0 didn't do any better.

IntelliSense prompts for CLOOKUPKEY which I assume equals lcKey,
NREGKEY, which I figured as HKEY_CURRENT_USER and finally lcreatekey, which I set as .F.

Please bear with me, because I obviously have not understood all of this just yet.
