I ran it again using ucount and have this segment working.
I had already tried that change previously , cannot pinpoint why
it didnt work prior.

Sorry for the last post and thanks again

No it really doesnt make sense because I replaced the variable %g% with a constant for each group and read back properly from the ini file. Also I had already tried the same code using ucount instead of usercount, and the code still failed. So the code works if I manually type a number in place of %...

Interesting. I could not locate anything in the help file.

Thank you again

I am trying to store a text string in an ini file which will be retrieved as the TEXT for a memo box. When I write it to the ini file the %CRLF% forces a new line, so that when the string is read back from the ini file it is no longer correct for the memo box. How can I stored the %CRLF% literally i...

Dick I modified the code eliminating the CRLF as you suggested and it now executes. //extract the number of Users for each group Let>c=0 Let>g=-1 Repeat>c Let>c=c+2 Let>g=g+1 DDERequest>Excel,ExcelFile,R39C%c%,return,60 StringReplace>return,CRLF,,return EditIniFile>iniFile,Group%g%,UserCount,%return...

Yes that makes sense. I am modifying the code now to retest it. I figured the code lines would help, to refer to the exact problem line. I just editted the code I posted. I decided to change a variable name before posting to make it more readable, then failed to make all the neccessary changes befor...

I have never used the debug, I will read into it.
But I placed the message box in the code to monitor the count and
I show a zero as expected.
At that point I am expecting the code to loop back and get the next column of users, but instead it goes forward and begins to write to the ini.

Yes, it makes sense.
I wasn't aware of that.

Thank You

Are you saying that I should name the file *.dll.ini ?

Interesting , it never occured to me to try that.
Yes it does looks as far off in result for the variable on the left side of the screen, but instead of showing almost no change in MATCH it shows too much.

Did you get the images?
What do you think?

I'm also running xp (pro) and I don't have anything unusual running in the background. As a matter of fact when I am working my way through learning the program outside of a firewall it's the only program running. This violation will occur when I have the main window of MS open rather than minimized...

Problems still do resurface with this code . With the Wait it executes as expected most of the time but the violation messages still apprear on occasion. I have cranked up the Wait to various times and that doesn't seem to effect the occassional violation messages. Is there any possibilty that this ...
