A little help.

Hi,
I just signed up for these forums and have read a few threads and found them very informative. I am just starting out with VB and hope you guys help me. My questions might sound old but I'm just starting out. :)

My questions :
1. I read somewhere that in order to access a part of the file that has already been passed, the 'stream'(Thats what its called in C++) has to be opened again. Is there any way to work around this?

2. Is there any site which lists all function in VB? (I have MSDN installed).

Thx.

If you are opening a file of records you can open it as "random access" which then allows you to extract any specific record in the file you choose. However, if you just need a certain portion of a file which is not record based, then you are out of luck. But instead of openings files more than once, just read the file and put the contents into a string variable and then work with this variable. That should help.

From the content tab of MSND click on the "Visual Basic Documentation" node then "Reference" and then again on "Language Reference". You will find a node in there for functions.
