Before I go ahead and code some binary version of my XML-based document file I'd just like to ask if there's a right and wrong way to save and read a binary file for this purpose having never really used binary files before.

Thanks to all who replied. I'm now debating as to whether to keep my xml-based file with perhaps some compression or to go down the binary file route. I'll need to find some examples of saving and reading to and from binary files before I make my decision I think.

I had a quick look in RB's examples folder but couldn't find anything like the IFF-based binary approach mentioned. I'll keep digging.

Thanks again for all your suggestions.

All the best,

Mark.
