This is really annoying me!

Ok I have a timer.exe and timer.ini
I double-click the timer.ini and I see value in it. Now I double-click the program and launch it. Double-click the timer.ini again while timer.exe is working and I see nothing...no value that was originally there, no nothing!!! My program reads from timer.ini on Form_Load() and I think it erase everything in the timer.ini after timer.exe had been loaded, but I want the value to stay in timer.ini after my program had been loaded, how can I do that?

Andy,

A couple of things to check for....
1) Did you close the file...notepad is notorious for giving false information on open files.
2) Are you accidently opening in read/write or even output mode?

Besides that, just single step the opening and reading of the ini and make sure that it is not being ""ed out.

Good Luck,
