>>>I'm using WritePrivateProfileString to update an existing ini file and it works fine. I can use GetPrivateProfileString and get the changed key value (or whatever) I just wrote.
>>>
>>>However, if another application reads that ini file before my program quits, the changes are not visible. After I quit my program the changes are visible to everyone. Anyone know how to flush the Windows api buffer, or whatever is holding the new changes?

>>What version of Windows you're expiriensing this problem under? Under Win2k Pro changes became visible to another application right away. You can try? WritePrivateProfileString(Null, Null, Null, "Myini.ini")

>Thanks Sergey, that worked for Win98 also. Is that documented somewhere or did you just dream it up?It's documented in MSDN library for win.ini file.
>Thanks for all the help you give on this list (I'm sure I speak for many other people)I'm glad to be of help.
