You are aware that most of the file functions in VB6 are available in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll? They are just slightly renamed (Get->FileGet, etc.). Albiet, they aren't nearly as high performance as FileStream, there is a lot of things that can be done with them "natively" than are a nightmare to do using FileStream. For an example, take a look at:

and

Needless to say, I can relate to your frustration ;-)

"19:45 - 20:15 head to head with something that you thought you could do in an hour".

By my reckoning, 7:45pm to 8:15pm is 30 minutes and you thought it'd take an hour. That's great performance ;-)

Also, About Using VisualBasic.DLL - I knew about this possiblity, Didn;t think of using it though. Besides. Not sure if it would have helped with the problems I faced, But I'm not sure. So i'll check it out and blog it out!
