Hi!

   No worries. Are you affiliated with the "Sico" paint company in Quebec?

   Anyway, there are a couple of ways to find out if PDF reDirect is registered using VB6.

   One way is to read the following entry in the preferences files, and make sure it is not blank or empty. It contains the name of the person or company that the program is registered to.

Group: "General"
Item: "-->Info_RN"

The preferences file is located here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PDF reDirect\Prefs_v2.ini

You can use the standard Windows API commands to read the INI file.


The other way is to download and install the ActiveX for programmers. With the ActiveX, you can find out if PDF reDirect is registered by using the following command:

Private oPDF As New PDF_reDirect_v25002.Batch_RC_AXD

If oPDF.Registered = True then
   Debug.Print "Registered"
Else
   Debug.Print "NotRegistered"
End If

The ActiveX component is free, and available from here:
