>It depends of the version of the control. VFP 5.0 have MSCOMM32 version 4.0 (I think). Maybe you have version 5.0 that has a lot of problem with foxpro. Try deleting mscomm32.* and reinstall VFP 5.0, it will copy version 4.0 again.

Hola "Paisano",

That is normal, is just because those properties can only be
set at run time, when the port is "open". If you call microsoft
they are going to tell you the same thing. In other words,
you have to live with that.
