[MS_AccessPros] GetSetting

 

I have an Access application where I shell out to Irfanview which worked quite well until encountering someone who had the 64 bit version installed.

Irfanview uses the file name I_view32.exe for the 32 bit version and I_view64.exe for the 64 bit version.

I thought I could use "GetSetting" to look in the registry to get the path and executable file name.

In the registry, under Irfanview there is a key shell with a subkey open and a subkey command.

The data value under the subkey command contains the path and file name.

I've tried using Msgbox getsetting("irfanview","open", "command") and variations.

I've guess I don't understand the section and key parameters I need to get this to work Has anyone used the getsetting function successfully and can help out or is there a better way to get the path and file name for a program?

TIA

Patty
