    Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in speed between openig random files and binary files ?
    My program processes files containing fixed length records - so I can use random access (get and put the record numbers) or binary access (using Seek to get to the right position - reclength * (recnum -1))
    Which one will be faster for reading and writing data ?

    Binary method is faster (but not noticeable) than random.
