There's a bunch of code on the net for making/reading .ini files.

Here's one:http://www.vbexplorer.com/VBExplorer/focus/ini_tutorial.asp

Or if you want to make/parse your own (If your a masochist, that is. )

Open "datafile.dat" for output as #1
print #1, "This is my data"

Open "datafile.dat" for input as #1
line input #1,mydata$
close 1

There's an API call for it, might be happier using it.
