Type Record   ' Define user-defined type.
   ID As Integer
   Name As String * 20
End Type

Dim MyRecord As Record
Dim MyFile as Long   ' Declare variables.
MyFile = Freefile    'get available file handle
Open "TESTFILE" For Random As MyFile Len = Len(MyRecord)
' Close before reopening in another mode.
Close MyFile
