I sort of have this working now. Two problems...

1. When I change the senders RTS line, the receiver (VB activex DLL) oncomm fires three times.

2. When the com activities are done I need to return about 2K in text. Can I send that back
from the dll?

Any ideas on these?


>Writing a COM in VB is not very difficult. Open VB, select ActiveX DLL (or ActiveX EXE) in the New tab and click Open. You can now add your methods and properties in the class module.
