We're doing something very similar here.

Once We get to approx. 6KB in the .ini file, We seem to hit a

section names appearing further down in the file. |
There are a variety of limits, it would appear. Another one I
found while searching was the line length -- I'd discovered that
one myself, but didn't experiment to see how long a line was
allowed.
I also found a variation on yours... I chose a Section, but when
I tried to choose a Key, I ran into the same situation that you
note -- one was cut off, and the rest missing. The interesting
thing was that if I split that Section into two, it was all better.
In other words, there's just a limit on how many Keys you can put
in one Section. I suspect what you ran into was more like that
(a limit on how many Sections can be in one INI) rather than a
strict file-size limitation, but that's guessing.
Does anyone have all the limits of INI files in DTS documented?
