JJ,

> Hold on there, I didn't know that VB can convert Byte() to a string.

As far as I can tell, it stil doesn't.  But for some reason wscript.echo 
accepts a Byte-array too.

> But since MID() only accept a string,

I'm not sure I understood you right, as you posted three lines you said 
work, but than follow it with the above ...

Yes, a quick test shows that MID() indeed does work, but - unexpectedly - 
grabs two bytes at a time.

> Instead, we use RIGHT(), which unexpectedly, works.

:-) Currently the only unexpected thing with MID() and RIGHT() is that, and 
/how/ they work on a Byte() array.  Ofcourse, it didn't help that you need 
an ASCW() (instead of just an ASC() ) to see the actual bytes.

> So, thank you for mentioning MID().

You're welcome.  I'm just glad that my fumbling lead to something usefull.

But forgive me if I say that I probably won't ever try to use that 
"adodb.stream" object in VBScript for anything.  The above juggeling brings 
back memories of how to do string stuff in DOS Batch files. :-|
