Registry App Path Entry

[reycbx]

Howdy.
Have an Access application that uses the app path value for Acrobat Reader below. When I was looking for the same for PDF XchangeViewer I found there was no entry.

Reason is that I wanted to modify the VBA code such that if Acrobat Reader was not installed that it would look for PDF XChangeViewer as in the past I had installed both products onto the boxes (XP, Win7 32/64).

Presume it is not in the app paths location and I should look for Tracker Software under HKLM\Software.

Correct?

Thanks,
Rey

Code: Select all

(WSH.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\" & _
            "CurrentVersion\App Paths\AcroRd32.exe\")

Hi

thanks for the post.

try using this for the Viewer:

Code: Select all

WSH.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\InstallPath") + "PDFXCview.exe"

and this for the Editor:

Code: Select all

WSH.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PDFXEdit.exe")
