my program only reads four hex bytes x.X

[Shaneypoo17]

hi all, my program is acting very weird... im using vbe 2005 and when my program loads from the file and gets what its supposed to get, it only reads the first 4 bytes, adds a FF byte to the start and the end... when i clearly wrote it to load the 6 digits... and i would also like it so that i dont have to write the offset for every letter but make it so it reads From one offset to another, which displays about 385 words, but they all have FF's in between them... so i want it so that it loads the file, then it loads a word, adds it as an item in a dropdownbox, when it gets to the FF's skip the FF's and add the word after to the next item in the dropdownbox... here is the code so far... and i would like someone to edit it please... it would be much appreciated.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim one, two, three, four, five, six As Byte
        Dim A, B, C, D, F, G As String
        Dim bname As String
 
        FileOpen(1, Mainform.OpenFileDialog1.FileName, OpenMode.Binary)
        FileGet(1, one, &H245EEB) ' loads first letter, a P
        FileGet(1, two, &H245EEC) ' loads second letter, an A
        FileGet(1, three, &H245EED) ' loads third letter, a J
        FileGet(1, four, &H245EEE) ' loads fourth letter, an A
        FileGet(1, five, &H245EEF) ' loads fifth letter, a R
        FileGet(1, six, &H246EF0) ' loads sixth letter, an O
        FileClose(1)
        A = ConvertByte(one)
        B = ConvertByte(two)
        C = ConvertByte(three)
        D = ConvertByte(four)
        F = ConvertByte(five)
        G = ConvertByte(six)
        bname = A + B + C + D + F + G ' adds them together to make the word, PAJARO
        ComboBox1.Items.Add(bname) ' adds it as an item
 
    End Sub

but it only reads PAJA encased by // (which i set as the translation for FF)help would be EXTREMELY appreciated
