GetSetting

Retrieve a value from the users registry (VBA).

Syntax
     GetSetting appname:="AppName", Section:="Section", Key:="Key", default:="Default"

     GetSetting "AppName", "Section", "Key", "Default"
      
Key
   AppName  The name of the application or project.

   Section  The name of the section where the key is saved.

   Key      The name of the key setting to be retrieved.

   Default  A value to return if no value is set in the key setting.

Retrieve the value from the registry key named "LastOrderViewed":

Dim strLastOrder as String
strLastOrder = GetSetting("SS64", "DemoDB", "LastOrderViewed", 0)
