I am writing to an INI file for output but, I really don't have a good grasp on the INI File structure. Each time the file writes to the ini, it overwrites the previous entry. What I want it to do is to not overwrite the previous entry, but place the entry in the next line below it.

Create a new key or indeed use fileappend iniwrite, ini format looks like this:

[Settings]
Key1=abc
Key2=def
Key3=ghi

so increment the key value and you can "append" to an ini.

Alternatively you can read the existing Ini entry to a variable, append the new text to the end and then write it back to the Ini File

Thanks for the quick reply! The file works again! Now on to my second problem. I'm trying to use A_tickcount to measure the time difference between the entries in the INI file. I'm assuming that I would have to write the start time (which actually would be when the equal key was pressed) to a variable, do the math within the script, and post the sum in the ini.

Something like this:
[/code]=::
myValue := A_Hour ":" A_Min ":" A_Sec " " A_MM "/" A_DD "/" A_YYYY " " "Keystrokes " cnt %elapsedtime%
IniWrite, %myValue%, c:\stats\%A_UserName%.ini,%A_Username%,cnt `r
MsgBox %cnt% Keystrokes %ElapsedTime%
send,{#}
StartTime := A_TickCount
ElapsedTime := A_TickCount - StartTime
return

For subtracting times you use EnvSub.
