Hi Juan,

Since nobody else has jumped in... I had similar problems when I tried using an INI file. I decided that it was easier to just use the registry. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work. So I guess my advice here would be that, unless someone else jumps in with a solution, try to use the registry if you can.

Good luck,

David
