have you wrote some code??
first of all, here you find what is an INI file http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file
second, here you find how to make an dll: http://delphi.about.com/od/windowsshellapi/a/dll_basics.htm

if you still can not handle with this issue, post again with more specifications, an with the code you have made so we can give the best solution

best regards,

Ok thanks for the advice. I has already check out delphi.about.com and found some usefull tips an tricks, but
there is nothing on using and re-using a resource within a DLL.

There are examples an using BMP's and WAV's, even extracting the file to the work Dir. This was the closest i found. but after extracting it and using it you cant get it back in.

[B]procedure[/B] TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
[B]var[/B] 
rStream: TResourceStream; 
fStream: TFileStream; 
fname: [B]string[/B];
[B]begin[/B]
[B]{[/B][B]this is good but only goes 1way}[/B]
fname:=ExtractFileDir(Paramstr(0))+'Intro.mp3'; 
rStream := TResourceStream.Create(hInstance, 'Intro', RT_RCDATA);
[B]try[/B]  fStream := TFileStream.Create(fname, fmCreate);
     [B]try[/B]   fStream.CopyFrom(rStream, 0);
     [B]finally[/B]   fStream.Free;  
     [B]end[/B]; 
  [B]finally[/B]  rStream.Free; 
  [B]end[/B];

this is great to get it out and use it once off.

I need to reuse it and keep it in???:sad:

The other thing i found was a stringtable. once again you can read from it but not write to it.

Perhaps i got the wrong idea of a what Im tring to do. maybe some one has a better idea of how to keep information in a secure way. (reading and Writing)

Do you have ANY grasp at all about what a DLL is?

If you did you'd know that what you want simply isn't going to work.
