Hi,

I have a project where I need to remove the first 1998 bytes from a set number of files. I am guessing I need to open the file in binary mode, but I am not sure how to write to a new file, skipping the first 1998 bytes. These are not text files, they are binary jpg files, and the first 1998 bytes of each file is always some custom tag information. Never had to use vb to remove specific number of bytes from a file. Any help would be appreciated
