You will need to use the GetResourceString method. A good place to start is here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone%5Cconceptd.nsf/webmain/E835479AA4E7CB2486256BEB006B4925

Hope this helps

If the ini file is not a TestStand string resource file, just call whatever function/vi/method is most convenient to get the strings you want from your file into local variables.  If you don't have your own function, you could always use the Windows SDK function GetPrivateProfileString in Kernel32.dll (refer to Windows SDK for details).

You can then put your local variable in the Message Expression field of the Message Popup step, either by itself, or concatenated with other variables and string constants to form a larger message.
