complex profilestring question
Thanks Alex, I'll certainly give it a try. I've actually tried calling the
WritePrivateProfileString directly (when I try defining this in my call to
the dll, I DO get a "function not found" error when I try to compile). I'll
let you know how it goes.
Sorry about the decidedly off-topic question. I figured people who know VBS
frequently know other aspects of Windows (at least, the true VBS gurus are
likely to be familiar with the rest of Windows). In retrospect, I probably
should have hunted around for a more applicable forum.
