Using Get with very large file
 

I am trying to extract data from a 7GB binary file using Get. When the byte
number, which is calculated by the programme, exceeds the limit for a long
integer the programme crashes.

The documentation for Get says the recnumber parameter is of type
"Variant(Long)" but the behaviour above suggests it can't have a value
greater than a long integer. Is there a way of addressing points in the file
beyond this limit? Can you use filesystemobjects to do this?

I am using Excel 2000.

Grateful for assistance.
