Here's an example:

Code:

CLS
DIM b AS STRING * 11

b = "Friday the "
a% = 13

'Code to put contents
OPEN "c:\temp.bin" FOR BINARY AS #1
PUT #1, 1, b
PUT #1, , a%
CLOSE #1

b = ""
a% = 0

'Code to get contents
OPEN "c:\temp.bin" FOR BINARY AS #1
GET #1, 1, b
GET #1, , a%
CLOSE #1

PRINT b
PRINT a%

I think that you only have to read the QB help, and you will understand how binary file open/read/write works.
