GetSetting and SaveSetting
 

I can write data to the registry with the following example. I am not
having any luck reading it back and storing it in a worksheet.
Suggestions?

You are storing
section:="PlayerData"
and reading
section:="PlayeData"

Its a typo:

section:="PlayeData", _

you're missing the "r" at the end of Player.
