My ActiveX (MSCOMM32.OCX) is now ok, what I need is a delay to get the response from the scale. you know some computer is faster, and when he is faster, i lost the response. I put a delay of one second and everything is ok.

I'm sorry for this very late reply.

I don't have a permanent access to the WEB.

Many thank's for your concern!
