As some of you already might no, i been having a lot of problems with source because I am using such an out dated visual basics...well I have ran into this problem once again with ini files. Since i havnt been able to read and write ini files using the get and write string function commands, I am curious if its possible to go about it in a different direction. Ex....I know how to write to a text using the open print command......is it possible to go back into that and read it like a ini will? If this is possible.....instead of the command print, is there a "read" command.....let me know guys, can save me a lot of trial and error time. Thanks a lot!
