To work around this error, use a Visual Basic for Applications macro similar to the following to verify that registry values exist:

Sub GetAllSettingsExample()
   Dim vMySet As Variant
   Dim iCount As Integer
   ' Get registry settings.
   vMySet = GetAllSettings(AppName:="MyProjectName", _
      Section:="MySection")
   ' Make sure the variable is not empty.
   If Not IsEmpty(vMySet) Then
      'Display the Key Names and Values.
      For iCount = LBound(vMySet, 1) To UBound(vMySet, 1)
         MsgBox vMySet(iCount, 0), vMySet(iCount, 1)
      Next
   End If
End Sub
