The problem is the driver - it opens the port I assume with a CreateFile API call with ShareMode set to 0, effectively locking the port for it's exclusive use.

>I am wondering if the problem is really the print driver and not mscomm.ocx itself. I mean, I can have multiple printer drivers installed and functioning on the same port...
