Hello: I use LabVIEW ini file read/write functions at various places. I have this [Main] section where most things get written-to and read-from. At some point, however, a bunch of KEYS and their respective VALUES get mysteriously WIPED OUT (DELETED). I have hunted for a process that does this to no avail. Does anyone know how this can happen? When this happens other Keys remain. The truncation happens from a specific Key downwards.

Hi Anthony, @Anthony_L wrote: For taking time to review my issue. For example: Does it mean that if I have 15-keys, Then if one process writes 5 keys does it mean that 10 keys will be deleted? I am wondering if this is what us happening.’ The INI file functions internally buffer the keys. So you should not open the same INI file more than once in your app otherwise you create a race condition! @Anthony_L wrote: for example what does boolean true do here? It will do what the help says: write the INI file when a key has changed… You don't need to create two messages to answer. And you don't need to attach the same image twice…

Solved!

Yes:

Indeed, I disabled a parallel same ini file rd/wr process and stability returned.

Thanks GerdW
