GetPrivateProfileStringA() [Solved]

I am trying to read info from my .ini file that i put in the same directory as my .exe but it's not reading the file. Here is my code:

Code:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
	
	char szbuffer[90];
	GetPrivateProfileStringA("Question", "Q", "no", szbuffer, 90, "God.ini");
	cout<<"The text I have found is: "<<szbuffer<<"\n";
	system("PAUSE");

}

God.ini

Code:

[Question]
Q = Thank God.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Code:

char szPath[MAX_PATH];
GetCurrentDirectoryA(MAX_PATH, szPath);

char buffer[90];
GetPrivateProfileStringA("Question", "Q", "No", buffer, 90, strcat(szPath, "\\God.ini"));

Try this?
