I booted up windows, went into regedit, and browsed around until I found a lot of MSOffice and Access stuff. But there is a whole tree of Access related items, and none of the titles actually come right out and say "I am an installation serial number". So I thought perhaps I should copy over the entire Access branch of this registry tree (tree is my term, i dont know the correct one.) and that way I would have everything I could possibly need. Under file menu is an entry for "Export", so I clicked on that, and save a file I called AccessReg.reg. When boot up Linux, I run wine Regedit. It looks just like windows regedit. Under the file menu I see an entry for "Import" so I thought that sounds like what I want. I clicked to where in the tree I think more or less matches where I took my access registry stuff from, clicked on Import, it opens a browser, I find and select my AccessReg.reg file, and say OK, but nothing happens. Should this have worked ? or am I being too simple minded in my interpretation of the "export" and "import" buttons in each version of regedit ? Am I going to have to manually add all the branches of my Access registry tree ? Is there some way of recognizing which subsection is the one with the install key so that I dont have to copy all of them ? thanks. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
