>>Hello,

CHR( 01 ) + CHR( 65 ) + CHR( 13 )

If I send it using low level manipulation, it refreshes the screen, but if I send it using the MSComm control, it just prints the control characters on the string. Can anyone offer any help on this? Thanks again,

I haven't tried this, but the MSCOMM help says that to pass control strings you need to pass binary data - the data you've created is a string, which can be converted to binary using the CREATEBINARY function.
