Hi there.

I've been searching the internet for weeks now trying to find out the
fix to
my problem (below) but I don't seem to be getting anywhere!

I'm using Visual Basic 2005 2005 Express Edition (Beta) and am having
some
problems upgrading code from VB6 to VB.Net.

I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to VB, but I've completed a lot of
my
program, I'm just having trouble with this part.

The following module changes some of the binary values in the program,
but
VB is coming up with errors:

=START CODE =
Module Patch

Public Sub Patch()

Open "C:\Program Files\My Program\myprog.exe" For Binary As #1

Put #1, &HDFFE2, "¶"

Close #1

End Sub

Public Sub UnPatch()

Open "C:\Program Files\My Program\myprog.exe" For Binary As #1

Put #1, &HDFFE2, "·"

Close #1

End Sub

End Module

=END CODE=

Also, could someone tell me how to call the functions 'Patch' and
'UnPatch'
from the form.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Casper.
