Why won't this getsetting code work?

[Chuck Gabriel]

I believe GetSetting can only retrieve values from subkeys of
KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings. There are API calls
for more general registry access. Unfortunately, I don't have any
experience with them. I'm sure you could find something if you searched
through past posts, though.
