_Is it possible to Open a file AS BINARY in a webpage? - _Mensliber_ - 08-04-2004
using our Basic compilers and from our computer; i mean to OPEN a file AS BINARY beeing the file located in a webpage and from our computer to handle the file as a simple BINARY
all this Without needing to download it
__just to read every byte of the file and then close it__
is it possible? how could be?

Not possible.
You can't access randomly a file located in the internet unless you download it totally or partially. Plus you can't access the internet from QB unless you use a Windows slave program.
