Reading the Registry

[JK]

I would like my application to read the registry each time it opens to
confirm that "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\[my application]\[my RegEntry]
exists. I read JW's explanation but am struggling to make it fit my purpose:
If [my RegEntry] exists, then open application, else MsgBox "Sorry" close
application. Can someone please advise.

Thank you.

Here is an example

Dim oWSH As Object
Dim sResult

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


On Error Resume Next

sResult = oWSH.RegRead("HKCU\Software\myApp\myKey\")
If Err.Number <> 0 Or sResult = "" Then
MsgBox "No valid key"
Me.Close savechanges:=False
End If
Err.Clear

On Error GoTo 0
