Retreving an external string Please Help Me!!!

I am needing to be able to set strings in an external file, and have mmf display them. I have tried using an Ini file and a string object, but can't get it to work. Any help would be much appriciated! Thanks!!!

I figured it out. In the ini file properties you have to specify the exact file location & name, or else i dont know where it tries to retrieve it from.

Or you can specify it relative to your application.
(Just in case in the future someone reads this thread)

appdrive and appdir would be the functions under the special icon to use for that.

To be a bit more precise:

Appdrive$+Appdir$+"MyStrings.txt"

Copy and paste that into the expression evaluator. That will tell MMF to look in the application's directory for a file called MyStrings.txt.

isn't app path the same thing (rather than concatenating two values)?
