John,
Is this VS.NET 2003?
Microsoft fixed a 'feature' of VS.NET 2002 in VS.NET 2003. :-|
You need to add your config file to your VS.NET project's root folder as
app.config, it needs to be named "app.config" without the quotes. When you
build your project VS.NET (both versions) will copy the app.config file from
the project root to your output folder and name it appropriately
(myproject.exe.config).
Hope this helps

Hi,
I've been trying to use appSettings for a VB.Net exe file
with mixed success.
At first I thought the program was just not working and
that I had made some sort of mistake in the config file.
It now appears that it works fine if I run the actual exe
file from within the obj/debug folder - provided that I
copy the config file into there - but I cannot get it to
work from within the Visual Stdio IDE so I cannot step
through the code to debug.
Anyone know whether this is correct?
