We have a problem that we need to sent binary data though serial port ( MSCOMM )

The output is FOXPRO like :

DIMENSION x(4) as Byte
x(1) = 0
x(2) = 4
x(3) = 253
x(4) = 249
*!*x= (00,04,253,249)

thisform.MScomcontrol.output = x

This generates an invalid parameter error because the control only accepts ascii values.

In Visual Basic this works fine.

Suggestions?
