Hi,

Help for the MSCOMM control can be found in COMM98.CHM

Essentially you need to set up and open the relevant port e.g:

MSCOMM.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
MSCOMM.CommPort = 1
MSCOMM.ImputLen = 0
MSCOMM.PortOpen = .T.

and then either poll the input or put code in the OnComm() event to handle incoming data (I favour using the OnComm() approach). There are VB examples in the help file.

HTH,
Viv
