Anyone know why a Com port opened under VB3 would fail to work while a Com port opened under VB5 would ? I can use the port if I use QB4.5 to send the data out. I open it using COM2,9600,8,n,1,DS,LF.

The default settings in VB5 work fine. ( Cyhanging port1 to Com2) but I can't make VB3 work. The settings for the most part appear to be the same. I looked under Control panel to be sure it was enabled etc. It appears in System.ini.

Is there any reason VB3 would suppress ESC,CR or LF ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
