 Newbie needs help in reading installed programs from the registry using RegObj.dll

Hi,

I'm working on programming a software inventory using MS Access 97.

Now I've checked out the "RegObj.dll" and registered it.
Unfortunately I'm not so well experienced in programming with VB that
I just want to ask for some help:

I want to obtain a list of all the installed programs from the
registry and found the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

very suitable for this. After reading the documentation of
"RegObj.dll" I'm so confused how the code must be to get all the
subkeys (softwares) from the above path.

I just need some basic and believe I could go from there.

Your help would be kindly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steffen

I had never noticed microsoft's registry dll before so I downloaded it to
take a look. However I too was baffled by the searching functions etc.
described in the help. Although I'd like to be able to tell you how to find
all the keys underneath a specified key using RegObj.dll it seems it's not
really for beginners. Try my registry control which can access any part of
the registry and provide a simple way to enumerate those keys in the
Uninstall key. There is also a context sensitve help for all the methods.

thank you very much for replying and posting your link. So I have
downloaded your files and found the documentation sounding well and
easy.

I'm not really sure if it works also in Access. Making the reference
to your ocx in my Access-project worked well, but if I enter the
forms-section in Access, there is no registry-control available from
the ActiveX-toolbox! Do I need this? Is a module needed or is it
enough to make the reference to your ocx?

As you know I'm a beginner - I don't know if this is the correct way
to put your programm into my Access project.

Your help would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Steffen
