Lee Mac Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 If you rename the sld files to txt, They are still compiled files and not readable as a list. You aren't renaming the SLD files to txt, just reading them using a TextStream, derived from the FileSystemObject. Where do these slide lists come from? Read post #97. (& #96) There is a significant advantage using this method. You cannot, for example, compile SLD files into a VLX, so you can encode them using this method, and then re-write the SLD files using the list of ascii codes, containing the original information. Not only that, but the method is not limited to SLD files - If you read over at theSwamp I believe the Russian genius ElpanovEvgeniy uses the method to read a binary file...
