    VB - making API calls

    I am using API calls which modify Registry with the following functions,
    RegSetValueEx,
    RegQueryValueEx,
    RegOpenKeyEx,
    RegCloseKey
    I am working on VB 6.0 in 95 platform and the program works fine.
    When I run the exe on Windows NT i can open the key and view the values but not update the values.

    Can anybody help me. My project is stuck up because of this.

    Re: VB - making API calls

    make sure you specify the correct value for the samDesired in your RegOpenKeyEx call (KEY_WRITE).
    Also, check the return code of all API calls and call FormatMessage to get a readable explanation of the error.
