RTE 8012 The device is not open

[StephanieHarris]

Hello,

I have a program that uses the mscomm control to place a modem call from a computer to another device that is hooked up to a modem.

I've been using this program for a long time at a bunch of locations and have never had a problem. All of the sudden, I am getting a runtime error 8012. The device is not open.

I have found reference to this error but I can not find any reference to exactly what would cause this error. Has anyone ever seen this? What would cause this error to occur?

Thanks so much!

Steph

not quite sure but sometimes it might be that no modem is currently in your modem list. check that out by going to the control pannel->modem.
good luck..
