Are you using MsComm or the Windows API?. You will also need to post the code you are using for communication.

I forgot to mention that I am using the most current mscomm32.ocx and VB6.0

Does anyone know of any problems when using MSCOMM32.ocx with Windows XP or 2000?

do a dependancy check. this will list the files required by your project.

You should also make sure your data bits are set correctly on both the pc and magnetometer, usually 8 when using no parity.

Also check that both use the same handshaking, baud rate, etc.

For Exponent:

create a control array by placing the control you want to add at runtime on the form. Set its index to zero and visible to false.

to add the control, use the Load function:

Is this what you are trying to do?

Next i
Next j

I don't believe you can change the mscomm settings while the port is open. You have to close the port, change the settings, then open the port.

This may be a problem for your application.
