I have been playing around with writing a random file in VisualBasic which
works OK, then thought I would use BP 7 to access this random file and so
created a record which I thought would be identical.

I was getting garbage with the Pascal program so...

When I look at the size of each, the BASIC version is 45 bytes and the
Pascal Version is 46 !!??

VB ... size is 45
Type People
  InUse as Boolean
  RecPos as Integer
  Tag as Integer
  Total as Integer
  ID as Integer
  FirstName as String * 15
  LastName as String * 20
end Type

Pascal  ... size is 46
Person = Record
  InUse        : Boolean;
  RecPos     : Integer;
  Tag           : Integer;
  Total         : Integer;
  ID             : Integer;
  FirstName : String[15];
  LastName : String[20];
end;

where is the problem? What is the solution?
