Thanks for the reply, still no luck though, I tried adding another key, but get the same Nothing.

vbReadConfig.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
	<appSettings>
		<add key="ConnectionString" value "ConnectionStringText"/>
		<add key="dsn" value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Statistics.mdb"/>
	</appSettings>
</configuration>
