Need a second look is my syntax wrong, and how?

[slafta]

proxy1 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\I nternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", true);
proxy2 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\I nternet Settings", "ProxyServer", true);
__________________________________________________ ________
if (proxy1 = 1) then
posproxyresponse1 = Dialog.Message("Scan in progress...", "It appears that you do have an active proxy", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
posproxyresponse3 = Dialog.Message("Proxy Settings",proxy2 , MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
else
posproxyresponse2 = Dialog.Message("Scan in progress...", "It appears that you do not have an active proxy", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end



so proxy1 return long int, how is requiring a ' near the equal statement

Hi. Try this:

if proxy1 == 1 then

instead of this:

if (proxy1 = 1) then

Hope that helps.

thanks corey but I recoded it like this:

initproxysequence = Dialog.Message("Scan in progress...", "Do you have a proxy? 0=false 1=true", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
proxy1 = 0;
proxy2 = 0;
proxy1 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\I nternet Settings", "ProxyEnable", true);
proxy2 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\I nternet Settings", "ProxyServer", true);
proxycompare = String.CompareNoCase(proxy1, "0");

if (proxycompare ~= 0) then
posproxyresponse1 = Dialog.Message("Scan in progress...", "It appears that you do have an active proxy", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
posproxyresponse3 = Dialog.Message("Proxy Settings",proxy2 , MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
else
posproxyresponse2 = Dialog.Message("Scan in progress...", "No proxy detected!", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end

Registry.GetValue() returns a STRING; not a numeric value. It is important to be aware of the returned type of value. Don't mix string variables with numeric variables.

I'm not familiar with the Proxy values, but maybe you need omething like this:

proxy1 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", true);
if proxy1 ~= "0" then
	-- not equal "0"
	bServerKeyExist = Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings");
	if bServerKeyExist then
		-- get the settings
		proxy2 = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", true);
		Dialog.Message("Proxy", "Enabled = "..proxy1..
			"\r\nServer = "..proxy2,MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
	else
		Dialog.Message("Proxy", "Enabled = "..proxy1..
			"\r\nNo Proxy Server found", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
	end
else	
	-- equal "0"
	Dialog.Message("Proxy", "No proxy detected!", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
end

Yes csd is right, if you look up any action in the User's Guide you will see a "Returns" section which describes what type of value any given function returns, i.e. string, table, boolean, etc...
