Help with Windows Registry

[Michael]

Hello
I've run into getting the hexadecimal data from the windows registry. I
need to pull the Value Data from a Dword Value but I just get a "0". I'm
trying this:
put queryRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControSet\Control
\IDConfigDB\Alias\0001\ProfileNumber\")into field tNum  
Do I need to convert this Value Data since its Hexadecimal or can the
value be read and placed into a field without conversion ?
Any help with this would be great
