I have been running some code from a form's on open event to run regedit if
a registry key does not exist in the registry. It has been working fine,
but I have had the path to the registry fix file hard coded into the VBA
like this.
RunReg = Shell("regedit. exe /s F:\MyFolder\SQL fix.reg", 0)
Now I wish to make this more generic and allow it to run from any path.
I have tried to use CurrentProjectP ath like this.
RunReg = Shell("regedit. exe /s" & CurrentProjectP ath & "\SQLfix.re g", 0)
When I do this, I get a 'compile error variable not defined :
CurrentProjectP ath'.
I realise this probably means I should have dimmed the CurrentProjectP ath,
but I am unsure as what to dim it as. Am I one the right track and if so,
what is my dim statement?

Dimming it as a string should do OK...

You're right Steve, that is what I had in the code originally and somehow it
fell out between there and adding it to the message.
You think it should work though I presume then? Its just that I am not in a
position to test it as the .reg file is for Office 2003, which I do not
have.

If it was working before with the hard coded path, it should work again with
the relative path using CurrentProject. Path. Still, I have a word for
untested code. The word is "broken".
You should try out the technique using a dummy .reg file, just to make sure
it's all OK. You can hand-build a .reg file by looking at the format for any
other .reg file, and just have it create some random, harmless key.

You were absolutely right Steve, if it is not tested it is broken! I have
made it run now and replacing the version with the hard coded path to the

written.
RunReg = Shell("regedit. exe /s F:\MyFolder\SQL fix.reg", 0) - This works.

The first think I notice is that you do not have a space following the /s
before the close quote, so the dynamic string will not have a space there.
Also, I can't recall whether CurrentProject. Path includes a final "\" or not,
so you might want to print that from the debug window to see what it has.

Yes, that was it, just discovered it myself too. I needed RunReg =
Shell("regedit. exe /s " & CurrentProject. Path & "\SQLfix.re g", 0) with the
space after the /s as you said. The CurrentProject. Path does not include
the trailing backslash, and it needs to be where I had it.
Thanks for your words of wisdom about untested code. I would have just
bitten my tongue and put it in before you said that.
