I have soft modem in Windows XP SP1
XP shows it as COM3 and all other programs work with it.

I ran the following code in VFP 7 :

thisform.olecontrol1.Commport= 3
thisform.olecontrol1.InBuffersize = 8000
thisform.olecontrol1.Settings= "2400,n,8,1"
thisform.olecontrol1.handshaking = 2
thisform.olecontrol1.Portopen= .t.

The last line in this code causes error

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from MSComm: The device is not open..

In Windowos 98 this works OK.

Any idea ?
