It's not clear from your post what the problem is.
Take a look at

- file #9336 Basic Serial Communication with MSCOMM
- file #9636 Good practice in using MSCOMM.OCX in VFP
- faq #7807 Serial communications with a COM port using MSCOMM
- faq #7943 How do I determine the Comm ports available to MSCOMM
