I forgot that VB won't go beyond 2 GB in files open For Binary mode. One 
such class I used in the past is CFile.cls in this VB6 source library:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/codebox/

It has most API functions for File I/O, and easy to use methods. It's 
limited to 32-Bit though, but you can easily add extra parameters for the 
higher 32-Bit.
