Public Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "WritePrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationname As String, ByVal lpkeyname As Any, ByVal lsstring As Any, ByVal lplfilename As String) As Long
Public Declare Function GetPrivateProfileInt Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPriviteProfileIntA" (ByVal lpApplicationname As String, ByVal lpkeyname As String, ByVal nDefault As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
Public Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationname As String, ByVal lpkeyname As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long



ok....look at this code...
this is my main code to work with ini files

Option Explicit
Public IniFileName As String
Public appnames As String
Public keynames As String
Public strins As String
Public returned As String

Public Sub Getstring()
Dim ret As Long
Dim temp As String * 50
Dim lpAppName As String, lpkeyname As String, lpDefault As String, lpFileName As String

lpAppName = appnames
lpkeyname = keynames
lpDefault = IniFileName
lpFileName = IniFileName


ret = GetPrivateProfileString(lpAppName, lpkeyname, lpDefault, temp, Len(temp), lpFileName)

returned = temp

End Sub

Public Sub Storestring()
Dim lpAppName As String, lpFileName As String, lpkeyname As String, lpString As String
Dim ret As Long
lpAppName = appnames
lpkeyname = keynames
lpString = strins
lpFileName = IniFileName
ret = WritePrivateProfileString(lpAppName, lpkeyname, lpString, lpFileName)

End Sub

how do i make a procedure for something like a
Public Sub DeleteString()???

give me full details please

Ok. Sorry for not explaining. What it will do is delete the value. What you want, correct?

    Call WritePrivateProfileString("My Section", "Key", "", "C:\MyINI.ini")

"" '<- erases key value
