Hello Experts...

I have weight scale attached to a COM1 port. Truck goes over the scale and it sends multiple readings to a VFP application via COM1 port. I can see the data comming through Hyper Terminal but I always get 0 through VFP application. I use the following code to capture the weight through COM1 port:
	SET OLEOBJECT ON 
	oComm = CREATEOBJECT('MSCOMMLib.MSComm')
	oComm.CommPort = 1
	oComm.Settings = "1200,N,8,1"
	oComm.InputLen = 0
	oComm.PortOpen = .T.

	II = oComm.input

	=MESSAGEBIOX(II)

	oComm.PortOpen = .F.

	RETURN
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?

Please...

Thank You.
