    Evelina,

    Provide more details if possible.

    What kind of port and what kind of device are involved in your development? It this question pertaining to a serial port or a USB port? What environment is the program running in, Windows or Linux? What is the code development environment, Visual Studio or something else?

    Sincerely,
    Chris.

    You're gonna go blind staring into that box all day.

    You should provide more information about your problem. "the port" might be anything: an ordinary serial port, an USB port, a parallel port, etc.

    Hi,

    thanks for your replies. Currently I'm working with a card reader connected to the serial COM Port.

    I am using Windows 98 environment and Visual C++

    Thank You

    Serial communication programming under Windows (only?) is tricky. I have developed applications using serial communication and I always had a hard time (shame on me!).

    Search MSDN for “Serial Communications in Win32” technical article written by Allen Denver. It contains all the information you need.
