I am trying to use the registry to connect to my Access database which could be anywhere within a network.

Right now I'm just confused and have no idea where to
begin.

Any suggestion at all would be greatly appreciated.....

Do you mean you want to store the path to the database in the registry and then access that path when your app starts? Or do you mean to somehow use the registry to search for the database on the network?

I think therefore I am... sometimes right. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

this isn't really a VBA question so I am moving it to general help.

why aren't you simlpy leaving it in one network directory and call it from there.?

I'll be among the best soon, very soon!!!

Of course I can always do that, but that's not the point.
There's always what if...

What if I wanted to created an application that I want to distribute to different users and I don't want to tell the user where to put what as long as it's in the same network not necessarily on the same computer and directory.....
