reading from ini file fails with capicom again -

Hi there,

I have made a login form which has a form_load inwhich it reads from an ini file the value "password".
But I would like to encrypt the value so I have used capicom
The ini files looks like this:

[Login Gegevens]

UserName=systeem
Database=MVL00001
PassWord=MFkGCSsGAQQBgjdYA6BMMEoGCisGAQQBgjdYAwGgPDA6AgMCAAECAmYBAgFABAjI
iGOC5ClhoQQQhV0PzyFKxFNayMaRPA7zLQQQpE1oDzCw79V5FFCoMrC66g==

But the Decrypting of PassWord failes because the value of PassWord is only the first line.

GetKeyVal(Form1.FileName, "Login Gegevens", "PassWord")
Could somebody help me on this?
