Amanda, just to be clear - there are two parameters after the file handle - the number of bytes to move and the relative from position from which to move. To position at the end of the file you would issue:
gnPosition = FSEEK(gnFileHandle, 0, 2)  &&  Move 0 bytes from the end of the file 2
In your original post you were only passing one parameter after the file handle which was the number of bytes to move. If you do not specify the relative from position it defaults to from the start.

If this still does work then please post your exact code here for us to see.

Also, are you checking that the FOPEN() was succesfull by checking the returned file handle?
