Let (R, M) be a local ring and let R* be the M-adic ring completion of R. It is well known that R is a regular local ring if and only if R* is a regular local ring. The purpose of the note is to show that this result is essentially a consequence of a more general theory concerning local Noether lattices which was developed in [6].
