>>I don't use MSCOMM control at all :o))) This is a buggy control not a VFP. I cerated my own FLL lybrary, based on the class writen in C++ from http://home.ict.nl/~ramklein/Projects/Serial.html. Unfortunately it is not universal, I changed it according to my needs. I am too lazy to make it universal :o((, but hope someday I'll do it.

I don't know may be it's a version problem, but the first time I used it (In VFP 5 If I remember well) it gives me evrithing but the data I needed :o))) Since then I've never used it.
