Dear,

Problems occur when I set com port to 6 and above, using MS. Comm
control. The input I receive become funny characters.
But it does not happen when com port is set to 5 and below.

Could you please help me??

Thank you.

Regards,
Ginie.

Hi,

I have no trouble with Com1-Com16. MSComm does not support ports higher
than 16. If you are seeing "funny characters" I have to suspect that the
Settings property is not correct. However, I don't have much to go on here.
