Hi Shawn,

I used the code from: http://www.thecodeproject.com/csharp/ReadWriteXmlIni.asp

And I have code like this in there:

Config AppConfig = new Config(strConfigFileName);
AppConfig.GroupName="";
string strKey = AppConfig.GetValue("databases",@"xCase\Connection",@"Data Source=c:\development\xcase7;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1");

and

Config AppConfig = new Config(strConfigFileName);
AppConfig.GroupName="";
AppConfig.SetValue("databases",@"xCase\Connection","Data Source="+strxCaseLocation+";Provider=VFPOLEDB.1");

As you can see, I use it set set the string for a VFP free table directory, but this should give you enough pointers to make it work.
Also, the benefit for this, compared to the regular .NET way of getting the setting, is that you don't have to restart the app to 'see' the new value.
