Message: [QUOTE="Strigger, post: 524760"] Hi, I'm running under a user that is a member of the admistrators group and trying to retrieve a registry key value, using this code: Private Declare Function RegOpenKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegOpenKeyExA" _ (ByVal lngHKey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal _ lpReserved As Long, samDesired As Long, phkResult As Long) As Long Private Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001 Private Const KEY_QUERY_VALUE = &H1 Private Const KEY_READ = &H19 Private Const KEY_ALL_ACCESS = &H3F Dim lngReturn As Long lngReturn = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Site", 0, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, myPtr) but I keep getting ACCESS DENIED (lngReturn=5)! Any ideas what causes this problem? (I have tried KEY_READ & KEY_ALL_ACCESS too but without any luck) Any suggestions? Strigger [/QUOTE]
