I have the following code (this works) which gets a byte (SAFEARRAY) from an ActiveX component and saves to a file:

LOCAL ARRAY laHotKeys[1] AS Byte
laHotKeys = 0
COMARRAY(this.Globals,10)
this.Globals.GetHotKeys(@laHotKeys)
lcFileName = GKKGetConfigPath() + "UserKeyBindings.txt"
STRTOFILE(laHotKeys[1],lcFileName)

I am then trying to read back in the file with the following code:

LOCAL ARRAY laHotKeys[1] AS Byte
COMARRAY(thisform.CodeMax.Globals,10)
laHotKeys[1] = CREATEBINARY(FILETOSTR("GKKKeyBindings.txt"))
this.Globals.SetHotKeys(@laHotKeys)               && Failing here with invalid datatype

I can set a breakpoint and see the value at laHotKeys[1] is in the correct format. However, when the SetHotKeys method is called the value in the array is changed and the error is trapped.

What is the correct way to convert a string that was previously a byte array saved to file and then re-read in? Thank you.
