>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:

No, no that way.
InputLen is the length of the Input Buffer. I am not sure what happens when you set it to 0!
As Don said Put that ActiveX in a form.
In init of the form Open the port and catch all COM events in OnComm event of that ActiveX.
Make sure that ALL settings are right.
In destroy event of the form Close the port.
