Random Access Torture!VB.Net 2003
I can't understand why, if I can use FilePut to write a structure to a random access file, I can't use FileGet to read that structure back in again. I get this error when reading: "Object type cannot be converted to target type." There shouldn't be any conversion necessary - it's the same structure! Help, please... Tom Hi,
You did not give much to go with. If the file is also used with vb6 remember that a vb.net integer is a vb6 long, and vb.net short is a vb6 integer.

This is only in VB.Net 2003. I write to the file with this structure, no problem. But I can't read the file with the same structure. I get that error message. I trie FilePutObject and FileGetObject, but I can't put it - I get this error message: "'FilePutObject' of structure 'doc_Specs' is not valid. Use 'FilePut' instead." So, if I can't use FilePutObject, but I can't FileGet a file with the structure that FilePut the file, what is a programmer to do? It just doesn't make sense.
