>INI file are now back in style. Why you ask? Because #$%&@ NT 4.0 & 95 have incompatible registry systems. So we are forced back to INI's so we can run our apps on both platforms w/o modifications. I store my INI settings in Global memvars (ok -- not so OOPish but wanted to make you guys feel better (S)). I check for the existence of the memvars in th base class of all my Forms. So during development I can just run 'a' form & load the settings I need if they are not there.
