JJ,

> msgbox asc(a) 'first element as byte

Whut ?   Where did you create/load the data into that "a" variable ?   Whats 
actually in it ?

Also, why do you think that "asc()" has antyhing to do with an array ?

> v = ascw(a) 'first & second element as int (16-bit integer)

No.

It just tries to convert the *wide-string character* in the variable "a" 
into a value.   If that "a" variable would contain a string (and not a 
single character) than it just takes the first character (*not* byte).

In your case that is moot though, as you have set your stream to binary.  As 
far as I can tell that means that *no multi-byte-character conversion* is 
done, and each read byte is placed in its own array element - even if it 
could be part of a multi-byte character.

I'm probably misunderstanding your problem, but here goes :

To access each character (byte?) in a string you need to use a mid(arr,i,1)
