18.5. Summary

In this chapter, we began by looking at the evolution of the Win32 Registry, what it does, how it works, and how it is used. We also briefly looked at the tools you can use to examine and modify the Registry.

We then examined the Win32 Registry structure and perused the built-in VBA functions you can use to manipulate that portion of the Registry specifically set aside for VBA programmers. Finally, we rounded off by building our own modest Registry module.

Having reached the end of this chapter, you should now have acquired enough information and experience to develop some fairly sophisticated database applications. All you have left to do then is to package it all up, so you can distribute it to your many users. Chapter 19 focuses on using the Access Developer Extensions to help you on your way.
