I am writing my first program and i want to make an ini file for saved variables and it should be read with &quot;[options]&quot; or &quot;[stuff]&quot; , that kind of style. What kind of file access do i use. I know i have to be able to read and write to it at the same time so do I use random or binary access? can someone give me an example of a program reading or writing to the ini file?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
