Andy, 
     I am not sure how you reading your .INI files, but the TIniFile object 
works great and is easy to use for working with .INI files, the examples in 
on-line help are pretty easy to follow.  
As far as how to get all the files in a directory, you will need to write a 
loop using the FindFirst and FindNext functions to get the files in a 
directory, you could process each .INI file as you come to it and ignore all 
other files. That sounds a bit inefficient to me though, doesn't your program 
know what .INI files it is looking for? 
Why don't you write the program to read each .INI File from the location you 
expect it to be? That will be much faster than looking through all the files 
in a directory as I mentioned above. 
Hope this helps. 
Steve
