Shouldn't matter. I can get the data to and from the file with no issue.
It's just trying to get the data into the memorystream instead f the
filestream is an issue.
The RecordStream object in DTF looks like it might be useful, but in typical
MS fashion, the useful foundation classes are internal instead of public,
LOL.
I appreciate your help. I'll just keep banging on it from here.
