Sharad (VIP) I am having problem reading the app.config file. I have 2 vb.net executables one calling the other using process.start method. It seems like when the calling form is run it reads the configuration file correctly and i get the values from appsettings. But when i call the second executable from the first the second executable doesn't read the app.config file. Reading any values from appsettings give me an empty sting. But when i start the second application on its own, i get the values from the configuartion settings. It used to work fine, i have a old copy of it installed on a test machine and it seems to be working fine. Can anybody help me with some suggestion Cheers Reply to this message...        Sijin Joseph Try setting the Working Directory property of the ProcessStartInfo before starting the second exe.
