[RESOLVED] Weird INI File Error

[khanjan_a2k]

I am using a INI file to save the configs of my software. I am getting this weird error when I am saving (writing) the configurations to the INI file.

I get the following error message:
Compile Error: ByRef argument type mismatch

Vb says that the error is with the following line:
WriteToINI "CLICKWHEEL", "Sensitivity", intSensitivity, strINILoc

with the intSensitivity part.

The variable is declared as public and contains either a 1 or 0.
I have a line before this one that writes a string to the INI file and it works fine, but I get an error with this line.

I am new to INI files... so any clue??

Post this module "WriteToINI "

[khanjan_a2k]

Here it is,

Public Sub WriteToINI(strSectionName As String, strKeyName As String, strValue As String, strFileName As String)
 
Dim WriteToIniResult As Long
 
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
 
    WriteToIniResult = WritePrivateProfileString(strSectionName, strKeyName, strValue, strFileName)
    Exit Sub
    
ErrHandler:
    Debug.Print Err.Description
    Err.Clear
    Resume Next
 
End Sub

I am off to sleep now, but I will reply tomorrow morning... about 12 hrs later

Try this

WriteToINI "CLICKWHEEL", "Sensitivity",[B] "intSensitivity", "strINILoc"[/B]

Oops... no that doesn't work... I changed my reply... the second time I tried... it actually wrote down the variable name...

Umm... intSensitivity is a variable... and strINILoc is a string variable that stores the location of the file... There is nothing wrong with strINILoc... there is something wrong with intSensitivity

Provided this module

WriteToIniResult = WritePrivateProfileString(strSectionName, strKeyName, strValue, strFileName)
