STEVEN HANSO #1 / 4	Need help with registry API function!!! I'm trying to use the RegCreateKeyEx function in my program. I've entered the following as a declaration: Declare Function RegCreateKeyEx Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "RegCreateKeyExA" (ByVal hkey As Long, ByVal lpSubKey As String, ByVal Reserved As Long, ByVal lpClass As String, ByVal dwOptions As Long, ByVal samDesired As Long, lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, phkResult As Long, lpdwDisposition As Long) As Long when I try to run my program I get a compile error: user defined type not defined. What am I doing wrong??? I would appreciate any help I could get!! Thanks in advance! Steve

Caisso #4 / 4	Need help with registry API function!!! Hello Steve, The thing that's giving you the trouble is : lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES You have no user defined type "SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES" declared. This means that VB can not create a variable "lpSecurityAttributes" that looks like "SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES". Regards, Rudy Wieser Quote: > I'm trying to use the RegCreateKeyEx function in my program.
