Thanks, but I have no control over the format of the data being sent TO the serial port. I have to receive it as binary data which means I need to be able to access the input buffer as a byte array.

Regards
Bill

>>I am using the MSComm control within a VFP app to capture serial data. If you use the comm control to receive binary data, it is stored in the controls receive buffer as a byte array. How can I access this byte array from VFP in order to write the data out to a file?
