emmm - heres the link to the UDF:

Sreg() - Searches registry for specified value and/or valuename

All I know is my buddy runs up to me with this urgent requirement to scour the registry for a particular data value actually - not a key or value - that can appear in numerous places under a certain tree node.

Not too certain on all the details but it has something to do with a "random" print driver being installed by some product - and must be deleted to get things working again ... apparently this is a stop-gap fix until MS comes back with a reponse or fix. Not only does the registry need cleaning, but the disk file has to be purged as well. This is on a server (I think)
