ByRef FileText As String, ByVal Start As Long) As Boolean

FFile = FreeFile
On Error GoTo NotAFile
Open FileName For Input As FFile
Close #FFile
Open FileName For Binary As 1
If Start = -1 Then
Seek #FFile, LOF(#FFile) + 1
Else
Seek #FFile, Start
End If
Get #1, , FileText
Close #FFile
GetFromFile = True
Exit Function

NotAFile:
GetFromFile = False
Exit Function

End Function

Public Function PutToFile(ByVal FileName As String, _
ByVal FileText As String, ByVal Start As Long) As Boolean

FFile = FreeFile
On Error GoTo NotAFile
Open FileName For Binary As 1
Seek #FFile, Start
Put #1, , FileText
Close #FFile
PutToFile = True
Exit Function

Extra Details

Syntax: RetVal = GetFromFile(FileName, FileText, Start)
Syntax: RetVal = PutToFile(FileName, FileText, Start)

For GetFromFile:
The first parameter is a file's name.
The second parameter is the string that the file's contents get returned in.
Note: The second parameter is passed ByRef, so it MUST be dimmed as a string!
The third parameter is the point at which to begin getting from the file.
Note: The number of bytes to return is determined by the length of FileText when it is passed.

For PutToFile:
The first parameter is a file's name.
The second parameter is the string that will be put into the file.
The third parameter is the point in the file at which to put the string.
Note: To add to the end of the file, pass -1 for the starting point.

If either the function fails for any reason, the return value is False. Otherwise, it is True.
