option explicit
dim ds, arr, i, n, h

stop
set ds = createobject("adodb.stream")
ds.open
ds.charset = "windows-1252"
ds.writetext "AaBbCc"
ds.position = 0
ds.type = 1
arr = ds.read

for  i = 0 to ubound(arr)
   n = ascb(midb(arr,i+1,1))
   h = cint(n)
   wscript.echo h
next

With these lines I have no problem to access the array byte by byte. n 
is of type byte and can be converted arbitrarily. The trick is to use 
MidB().
