Check out the following API functions:
Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "Kernel32" Alias
"GetPrivateProfileStringA" _
(ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As
String, _
ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As
String, _
ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
Declare Function GetPrivateProfileInt Lib "Kernel32" Alias
"GetPrivateProfileIntA" _
(ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As
String, _
ByVal nDefault As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As
Long
Declare Function WritePrivateProfileString Lib "Kernel32" Alias
"WritePrivateProfileStringA" _
(ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As
String, _
ByVal lpString As Any, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
They require a tiny bit of gyrations to work, but they enable the use of
ini files in VB4 32
Hope hat helps,
