Hello Friends,
  Perhaps one of you can assist me. Currently I have a semi-working script. The goal of this script is to write the values of the combo box into an INI file and read said INI files. So far it does this.. but the issue is, It writes over line 1. The goal is to write on a new line each time to create a continuous log of submitted data.

.INI file format and implied characteristic aren't suited to accumulate log data. You're better trying .log files and associated functions.

Well this puts a serious wrench in the system. As the program would read the .ini file in order show me the information that was logged without having to actively open the log file. Would you mind providing me with a quick little snippet of how you would go about this scenario based on my example? I'm completely out of ideas here.

I was able to get a working log file. However, it doesn't do what I need it to do and it breaks the readini function.

How much data?  I would think a map would serve the same purpose, and would only need to write to file in chunks (as memory warranted).  Depending on how you structure your map you can dump to .ini, dump it to an array, and then even lose your gd mind and call them back with dot notation......I have some old functions here:

Thank you once again for your input iamtheky.  I'll have to look at your script again - tomorrow, with a fresh brain. 

To answer your question, the amount of data (in my opinion) would be small. Three names, Two Dates, and a phone number per entry. Now, if the question is rather how many entries that will vary month to month but approximately 110 per month.

[iamtheky]

Bouncing that data between maps and files would be easy at that size.  Just so I don't immediately create an edge case, can you provide a couple of sample entries?  While using beta functions and a notation that will be deprecated is not ideal, my solutions are nothing if not unwieldy.

Something of this nature. Ideally the data per entry would be pulled from a combination of combo and input boxes.

Why can't you just read the log file?
