VB Forum / General / September 2004

I've had a VB6 COM component running in an ASP environment without
problem for a couple of years.  It gets its database connection
information from the registry via the VB GetSetting function.

I now have another need for a similar component.  Using the exact same
code, I have been unable to get it to successfully read the registry.
After running RegMon and comparing the two scenarios, the only
difference I can find is that the first is executing an "OpenKey"
call, and the second is making a "QueryValue" call.  I'm assuming that
this is my problem.

Any ideas why the same "GetSetting" function would result in a
different call to the registry?  Is there anything that can be done to
control it?  Should I just scrap GetSetting and use the Windows API
directly?

Thanks.
