ByRef argument type mismatch, what is wrong with this little piece of code

Hi,
i can't figure out why i get this error..
All seems fine, i used this code before..
well here it is:

Code:

---

Dim Inum As Integer
Nget IniLine, "Num", Inum 'i'll explain this down

---

i use this function to get stuff out of my ini file..
it suppose to get 'Num' from IniLine.
'Num' in the ini file is '6'.
Normaly i would get that Inum = 6, but instead i get a ByRef error..

in the previus line i used the same code:

Code:

---

Dim Iname As String
Nget IniLine, "Name", Iname

---

and i got the value of Iname with no trubble..

why is that..??
anyone?
thanks...

How are you storing 6 in your file?
integer or string...

The items stored in the INI file are always strings. Either use val or use an API call such as GetIniInt

I thought it was integer but you were correct...
It was string and it's working now... i didn't encouter this anywhere before...

thanks..!!:)

oops...

GetIniInt is from one of our proprietary dlls
