i've been playing with this for awhile and have finally gotten where i can read the file i want, but i still can't WRITE the characters i need to write. i can open file "Contoso.vuw" and process to the end of file, displaying both the character position number and associated character, IF i open the file as read only. If i open the file as FileWrite("contoso.vuw", 1) the file runs to the end, but displays nothing. If i open as FileWrite("contoso.vuw", 16) i get a binary representation of all characters. i'm stuck.
i need to replace characters 17, 18 and 19 with whatever the user types in (i can do that part), a 3-character userid. If i can get these three positions done i can do the other positions further down in the file (characters 2247, 2248, and 2249, all represented as "abc").
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks,
