    VB6 Data Filesize Limitation

    Hi,
    when creating a data file the max. filesize, under VB6, seems to be 2GB.
    Is that correct and if so, is there a way around that?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thx,
    Peter

      You have to use the APIs for file access

      Start with CreateFile and move on from there

          I looked at API, but I don't see how...
          I do Open Binary as Read/Write
          Somehow the API 'CreateFile" does not seem right. Can you help me out
          with a snippet?
          Thx... Peter

              Get the downloadable API Guide (packed with examples) from
              http://www.mentalis.org/agnet/ API Guide

              There is an example there.
