I posted this a week ago in 'Copy multi-line variable to first empty
row' but suspect it may have been overlooked in that very long thread.
I'm still interested in opinions on using the registry for data transfer
please, so here's a paste:

--------------------

My macro is now working sweetly, thanks to Claus, using an intermediate
text file to transfer the variables from the external source, my macro
written with Macro Express Pro.

I've just come across the SaveSetting and GetSetting VBA functions to
save and recover data from the registry. MX Pro also has similar
commands. So would this be a viable and possibly superior alternative
method?
