>I have not idea about other issues but there isn't any trouble about RS232 with VFP. I developed POS and Restaurant POS applications with VFP. These applications work with USB devices same time RS232 devices (displays, scales...).


Hi Metin.

The trouble is not with the stuff controled by the RS232, it's with the interfaces. I've had a lot of adapters not working.

Until not so long ago I've had no broadband connection, so I've used to use a old fashined ISDN interface to go into the net. This interface was using a RS232. I have some other stuff too.
The comps I own have no RS 232 onboard for more the a decade now. So I use USB devices. More of half of them are simply not working with some / all combinations. of app / comp / device.

Just my observations
