Using ini-files with VB 6.0

Question

I must be getting daft, but I can't seem to find how to read old-fashioned ini files with VB 6.0. All I can seem to find is about reading from and writing to the registry. Can someone push me in the right direction? Mind you, I am not a programmer, just a hobbyist trying to have some harmless fun with his computer, so please don't be to harsh when you point out the bleedin' obvious.

See the top answer on this thread. Nope, it's no different in VB! :-)

Use the GetPrivateProfile* functions. Some examples of how to do this with a Declare statement are here:
