Trouble opening large file

[Camron]

I'm having trouble opening a 3 GB file. I've never had to open a file so large before and I'm nost sure what to do. I've tried fopen and open functions but the program fails to open the file. Any suggestions?

[David Crow]

How are you attempting to open it? The fopen() and open() functions should be limited to older C programs. For newer Windows programs, use CreateFile() instead.

To use CreateFile() I must have the Coredll.lib. Where do I find this lib?

You're still in 32-bit land with 3GB, but this may help: http://www.naughter.com/cfile64.html[^]

Oops..nevermind I was in the WindowsCE part of MSDN..
