Does anyone know how to send binary data through the serial port? Can i have a sample of the source code? Thanks!

I don't know which version of VB you use. If it 5.0 or 6.0, everything you need to do, just
set MSComm1.InputMode = 1, and after that define array of Byte, and send it, something
like that:

Dim bOutput(0 To 10) As Byte

bOutput(0) = 1
MSComm1.Output = bOutput

But if you use VB 4 or less, you'd better use Win API functions
like CreateFile(), WriteFile(), ReadFile().

Good Luck!
