Are you getting an error message or what?

I rather doubt this one would work, since it doesn't use anything like VB syntax

>SaveSetting("MyApp","Startup", "Left", 50)
This one, however, sure looks like it should work, huh? Unfortunately, in VB,
if a call doesn't return a value, it's not a function - it's a procedure. In
VB, you call functions with the syntax
BB=MyFunc(a,b,c,d)
you call procedures with the syntax
MySub a, b, c
(note the lack of ()s).
This is usually what trips me up when I use SaveSetting. Remove the ()s from
the line. With them, VB thinks ("MyApp","Startup","Left",50) is the first
argument, and that you have chosen not to provide subsequent arguments.

See notes about second SaveSetting line...
I have been able to get these to work fine for me in both 16-bit and 32-bit. In
the 32-Bit, the settings are stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\AppName\KeyName
You may not be looking in the right place...
