I just ran a test under Win2K Pro SP3 without a problem. The file, BTW, didn't originally exist.

SET PROCEDURE TO inifiles ADDITIVE
oIni = CREATEOBJECT('Ini_Files')
lcini = ADDBS(SYS(5) + SYS(2003)) + 'foo.ini'
oIni.PutIniEntry('geo', 'entry', 'value', lcini)
* File was created with the appropriate entry
oIni.PutIniEntry('geo', 'entry2', 'value2', lcini)
* New entry was added

Are you, by any chance trying to write to WIN.INI?
