Have you notified the system that the INI file is changed?

This is from the Win3.1 SDK HLP file for WritePrivateProfileString:

	To improve performance, Windows keeps a cached version of the
	most-recently accessed initialization file. If that filename is
	specified and the other three parameters are NULL, Windows
	flushes the cache. 

I bet this will solve your problem.

There's a similar comment for WriteProfileString.

Note: a NULL is really a zero as long (0&). You may need to change the
declaration to get this to work ("Byval ... as any" should do).
