Hello,
I need this register key :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Security]
"DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate"=dword:00000001
How can I check in my application if this key already exists?
And in case it doesn't exist, how can I add it in my application?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Dear Michel,
Please try this and let me know what you get:
- Code: Select all Expand view
#define HKEY_CURRENT_USER 2147483649
local nHandle, nValue
if RegOpenKey( HKEY_CURRENT_USER,;
"Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Security", @nHandle ) == 0
RegQueryValue( nHandle, "DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate", @nValue )
MsgInfo( nValue, ValType( nValue ) )
RegCloseKey( nHandle )
endif

Antonio,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, the register key is not added.

Antonio,
To find the registry key manually is no problem.
Jimmy,
I am administrator.

Dear Michel,
Do you have the entry "DisableWarningOnIncludeFieldsUpdate" already created ?

Antonio,
I have created the key manually. That is no problem.
But I want my application to add the key automatically so that it is installed on all PC’s on which my applications are used.
This key is necessary to prevent a mastbos is shown in Word everytime a document is used that has been mailed to my customer. My customers use hundredthousands documents, so by this key a click is avoided everytime a document is opened.

Hello Michel,
Maybe you have to grant the user admin rights when setting this key.
I want to remind you that you need to set this key for every user.
Best regards,
Otto

Thank you so much for your help. It works fantastic now.
One more little question.

Thank you very much.
