Hi Mel:

>I would like to set a few "%Local.Message.Captions.MyCaptions" programatically if they don't exist in the Application Registry Editor (in particular Message.Captions).

The way you do this, quite simply, is with the cmRegistry.SetKeyValueEx method.

this.oRegistry.SetKeyValueEx('%Local.Message.Captions.My Caption Stuff', ;
   KEY_REPLICATE_NONE, ;
   '', ;
   KEY_TYPE_CHAR, ;
   "Whatever I want")

I haven't tested this but it is there or thereabouts. The only thing I am not to sure on is the third argument which I have specified as the empty string ''. Either this value will specify the Local name value the same as the cKey value itself, or, you may have to specify an actual value on a new, first time key creation (ie., of the local name is the same, specify "My Caption Stuff"). Either way, a couple of calls and you should have what you want.

HTH
