Ultimately VB was not very usefull here. I wrote a nice dll in VC++ and I use it to do the writes. The Hex offset was the problem. :(
>To access a file in binary mode, use Put statement instead on Print. But, I don't know if you can specify an hexa offset. I know you can specify a byte number (ie position in the file). Just try it...

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
~Samuel Adams
