As CPallini hinted in his posting your code used capital letters or ini not. And using the debugger is always a good idea ;-)

[SITE}

Is that a typo in your question, or is that actually what you have in your INI file?

Unfortunately I don't have Borland C++, so I can only suggest you to use the debugger.
