Debugging and GetPrivateProfileString -

Hi everyone, this is my first time here.. and I hope somebody have encountered this problem before...

the thing is that, I have an app that gets values from ini and is using API
GetPrivateProfileString
it is fine when I run the application as an exe, but then if I debug it.. the procedure can't get the desired data even if it is already pointing to the right ini file...

Why is this so?

Any help is appreciated thanks.
