RegOpenKeyEx return codes

[sydneygirl]

Help - I'm modifying a macro library, so that the macros will run with Office XP. This includes a number of API function calls, which are reading Registry values, eg to pick up the location of the User Templates

In the function call RegOpenKeyEx(), I've changed the subkey value so that it points to the new Registry location ("software\microsoft\office\10.0\common\general\usertemplates"), but I get a return code (error) of 2. I have checked the registry and the key is definitely there

Does anyone know what return code 2 is?

Depending on what the code does, you might just want to use:

Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath)

Here is documentation on RegOpenKeyEx:

Thank you the Application.Options etc was just the ticket - much simpler than all the API calls.
