Hello Dan,

thanks a lot for your help! I am shure Kevin told us this during training, because I begin to remember, but it was completly away ! Your answer cleared thing for me.

Thanks
Marcus

>This sounds like you have a shared .EXE on a network and the INI file by default resides in the same directory that the .EXE is run from. Our approach is to keep a master .EXE on the network and have a launcher that checks for a new .EXE and copies it down to each users local drive thus giving each user their own separate INI and making updates to all workstations happen automatically.

A program could be written to transfer all the information stored in the registry for an MM application to an INI file. They both have the same structure in MM. I like the idea of having most user settings in a user file so that no matter where the user signs in they will get their settings.
