Hey guys...

in checking to see if the ini file exists before it calls the load routine,

I had this line in there...

VB Code:
  1. If Dir$(SourceFile & "myinifile.ini") = "" Then

and I changed it to this...

VB Code:
  1. MyFile = Dir$(SourceFile & "myinifile.ini")

  2. If MyFile = "" Then

and it works now. Still doesn't explain why it would load manually, and not
with windows...at least I don't know why.

All I know is...if I hadn't quit drinking 7 or 8 years ago...I would have made a
run to the liquor store! Whew!

Thanks for all your input
