First thanks for chiming in!!!
Yes I am getting a blank value.
The best way to describe my app.config, enter a name to reference i.e.
"Test" and then enter a string value for "test" i.e. "Hello". I would
copy-n-paste my simple app.config here but needed to more forwards with an
alternate solution until my original question could be solved and now using
XML
This is my solution away from app.config in the DLL until someone can tell
me the correct method to read app.config from a supporting DLL

So far have tried the following were "Test" is a defined value in the
EXE. What is returned is a blank/empty string
System.Configu ration.Configur ationManager.Ap pSettings.Item( "Test")
Did some research on Google but only found people untried suggestions,
none that work in .NET Framework 2.
That usually works fine for me.
Are you getting a blank value? how does your App.config look like?
