It is. The issue, like I said, is that if the user scans a code 39 bar code the length could be either 21 or 24 characters. If the user user scans a 2D bar code then the length could be as big as 185 characters. So, I changed the RThreshold value to 185.

>>Thanks!!! I took your code and put it in the OnComm Event method and tried to scan a bar code. I changed the comments to wait windows so I see what the values are returning. Every time I scanned the bar code it came back with commevent = 3 (Change in the CTS line.). It never returns a commevent = 2.
