My application must read the registry and confirm the presence of a value.

So I turned to John W's syntex. Unfortunately, he doesn't give an
"If...Else...End If" example to read the registry. In any case, the syntex
works when the value is present. However, I am using an error handler to
tell me when the value is NOT present. Is this correct? Or can someone
suggest an "If...Else...End If" procedure that wouldn't require the use of
an error handler.

Thank you in advance.
