GetPrivateProfileString

[will12345]

When I try to read settings from an INI file using GetPrivateProfileString, my program crashes with this error message:



Code:
GetPrivateProfileString "default", "name", "(error)", s, 15, App.Path & "\sheepkill.ini"

What could be wrong?

Try this....I never use INI files.....all the samples I have use 255 for the length of the variable to hold the value.

s = String(255, 0)
x = GetPrivateProfileString("Default", "Name", "Default", s, 255, App.Path & "\sheepkill.ini" )
 
If x <> 0 Then 
   s = Left$(s, x)
End If
 
MsgBox s
