Error on binary file read? FIXED

[JordanChris]

I have a very simple program:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Open "c:\temp\my.txt" For Binary Access Read As #1
    sDATA = Space$(LOF(1))
    Get #1, , sDATA
    MsgBox sDATA
End Sub

The file exists OK.
LOF(1) shows a length of 50.
But on the GET line, I receive an error of:
" Run time error 458
Variable uses an automation type not supported in Visual Basic "

Any ideas why?
