Hi Mike,

Nope, try the following:

lcbuffer = SPACE(200)
lnresult = oIni.GetIniEntry(@lcbuffer, 'Application', 'LastUpdate', 'I:\arss\ims5\ims.ini')
IF lnresult = 0
  ? lcbuffer
ELSE
  ? lnresult
ENDIF

Note the @ sign directly in front of the lcbuffer variable in the call. That causes the variable to be passed by reference. Otherwise it is passed by value, and can't be modified.

hth,
