Two solutions: 1) Keep the file nmae in the ini file and save the actual text seperate file 2) Use WritePrivateProfileStruct/GetPrivateProfileStruct. 3) is what you suggested above

Im not sure how to do WritePrivateProfileStruct so here the code section. not sure if i should add loop or not. think the program will ended up in a loop void CMyDigClockDlg::OnSavenote() { char sIniFile[MAX_PATH]; GetModuleFileName( NULL, sIniFile, MAX_PATH ); strcpy( strrchr( sIniFile, '\\' ) + 1, "reminderclock.ini" ); char notepad[MAX_PATH]; int loop; CString temp_key; assert(m_notepad); ///WritePrivateProfileString ("NOTEPAD", "note", m_notepad, sIniFile); for (loop = 0; loop < m_notepad.Get; ++loop) { temp_key.Format ("note%2.2d", loop); WritePrivateProfileStruct ("NOTEPAD", temp_key, (void *)&m_notepad, sizeof(notes), sIniFile); } }
