Hi John,

"string length of 15" ? Who/where/what detemines this?

>I am using the MSCOMM32.OCX provided with VFP 7.0 to commubicate with a WEIGH-TRONIX weight indicator through the RS-232 (Com 2). The weight indicator is continuously scanning the scale and is continuously sending the weight change as an outout to the rs232.
>
>An example of the continous output by the indicator is the following (string length of 15):
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 0 lb 0
> G 50.5 lb 0
> G 50.5 lb 0
>
>However when I use MSCOMM32 to read the input, I get only " G ", string length of 8.

>Is there any obvious reason for this?
