The skinny on Access Add-In creation: - Microsoft Access / VBA

Access Guy

I have followed the instruction in kb article 201735 for add-in
creation and installation and still am unable to install the add-in.
When I attempt to install I get the "There was an error adding to
registry". Any ideas?

Just a guess (since you haven't told us your version of Windows, or your
version of Access, or what table entries you established for your addin),
but: do you need to be logged-in via an administrative account before you
can update the relevant registry entries on that PC?

Many possible reasons.
Registry access restrictions by the administrator, typo or missing key/value
in whatever process your using to put it there. Would need to compare what
you have done to what you're supposed to do.

OK here's the specifics:

1. Access2k with W2k on both machine. I'm getting the same error as
admin and non admin.

2. Here's the usysRegInfo table:

SubKey Type ValName Value
HKEY_CURRENT_ACCESS_PROFILE\Menu Add-ins\&AddinName 0
HKEY_CURRENT_ACCESS_PROFILE\Menu Add-ins\&AddinName 1 Expression
=StartMenuAddin()
HKEY_CURRENT_ACCESS_PROFILE\Menu
Add-ins\&AddinName 1 Library |ACCDIR\AddinName.mda
HKEY_CURRENT_ACCESS_PROFILE\Menu Add-ins\&AddinName 1 Version 1
I'm using the Expression Menu to open a form which is the add-in
interface. Also, what's the proper syntax for the database and the
code database? Thanks

Ok, I'm out of ideas, if it was not that.

Check out CurrentDB() and CodeDB().
