registry message
Alvin,
What operating system are you using? If you are using Windows XP or 2000 this may be a limitation in your account with being able to read the particular registry key or setting the registry key. To find some more information on the registry key that may be giving you the problem you can check out www.sysinternals.com and download the appropriate Regmon for your OS. 1. When you start the application, stop the capturing and clear the buffer. If you have a shortcut on your desktop for Excel this is really easy and you get very little in the regmon capture. So you might want to create one then perform the following items. 2. Reduce the Regmon window so it is not a full Screen but just a window. Launch Excel and do the same thing making it opposite in your screen from Regmon. Then close Excel. 3. Start the capture in Regmon and launch Excel. Once you get the error stop Regmon before accepting the error. 4. After accepting the error you can then return to Regmon and export the data to a TXT file and load it in to Excel. This will allow you to filter the data using the AutoFilter function. You should be able to see failures, but you will need to check each failure to see that it is not second chancing and finding the correct path or getting a success. Professional support personel can help you with this process further if needed. -- Chris Nicholas, MCSE "A man may fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame someone else." --Knox Manning "Alvin Tenner" wrote in message ...
