Yes, it should be raw binary data. My question is, how do I create the file of binary data from VFP?

I cannot just say:

STRTOFILE(Hex2Bin("74"),"C:\Test.txt")

The output would be an ASCI file with the content of "01110100".


>Isn't that just raw binary data? Read it from a file and send it (with FileToStr() or FREAD). If you really need a string there's CreateBinary() and STRCONV() which can turn data into blobs that can be sent over COM.
