I'm a C++ man, but I want to know some VB too

my question is: can you use the FileSystemObject and Random Access on the same file?

I created a txt file using the FSO object and tryed to write to it with the Random Access, but it won't work. does the FSO support binary and sequential files? can I create txt file with FSO and write to it using random access? what am I doing wrong?

please tell me how it is done if it can be with some examples to use as references
thanks in advance

The FSO does support binary, but you need special methods.
That being said, don't bother.
Use the standard VB6 open method.
Open "path to file" For BINARY As #1
BinaryDump=Input(LOF(1),#1)
Close #1
