I need help reading/writing to the registry

[Pat Adams]

Hello.
In Word 2002, I have a macro that should store a person's name, fax number and telephone extension in the registry and another one that should be able to read that registry information into a userform whenever they create new correspondence.

I can't seem to decipher the syntax for doing it.

Could someone provide me with a code sample?

TIA,
Pat

Hi Pat,

The GetSetting and SaveSetting commands are designed for this sort of thing.
There are code samples in the VBA Help file

Thanks, Jonathan. It was easier than I thought it should be, but just in
case someone is interested, here is more details.

I designed a fax cover sheet and used userforms to capture not only who the
fax was going to, but who it was from. The company has subsidiaries, so I
needed to set up defaults by user that would write the person's name,
company, phone and fax number and automatically display that information
whenever they started a new fax cover sheet. I also needed to allow them to
change the defaults whenever they needed. My save settings script was like
this:

SaveSettings "MS Word", "Private Templates", "FromName",
FormName.txtFieldName

I read the information with in the initialize event for the userform,

FormName.TxtFieldName = GetSettings("MS Word", "Private Templates",
"FromName")

Thanks,
Pat
