I encountered lots of very long INI entries. Usually they were string-encoded binary keys or structures (printer settings, for example).

Thanks for your quick responses. I did adjust the buffer sizes and it worked fine. Its just confusing when "STRING" in VB usually means 255 characters... Variant would be a better word I would think... Ah well, Microshaft, gotta love em!

No. Strings are quite a bit larger nowadays. I think you can store about 30K in a string.
A variant is something different. It is halfway to a typeless type.
