    Unhappy 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
