title: VBA binary file vs byte array
body: <p>I think I understand this correctly, but I just want to double check to be sure.  Suppose I write a binary file using VBA where the first X number of bytes represents some field, the next x number another field, and so on.  Now suppose I read that binary file back into VBA later using a byte array.  Is it reasonable to assume that the first x elements in the byte array directly correlate to the first x bytes in the file?  </p>
  
  <p>I should have made this clear from the get-go, the format and header of the file isn't all that important, I'm just trying to get more into the nitty-gritty of reading and writing binary files and using byte arrays with vba.  I'm getting there, and I appreciate everyone's input.</p>
