Hi Bema,

You may want to also post this in the Excel VBA or
Office Dev newsgroups (links below).

We are trying to call System-DLL Functions zu get Temp-Folder-Path and
REgistry Settings.

We try to read RegOpenKeyA and RegQueryValue EXA and RegCloseKey out of
ADVAPI32.dll and try to read GetTempPathA aus Kernell32.dll.

This is working fine on some Pcs. But we have also trouble on others ! ??
The Registry Call delivers no failure and no value. GetTempPathA close with
failure Value 0

On the PCs with problems where is also another apllication using the
GetTempPathA Call with no problems.

How can we solve this ??>>
