Serial Port in VBA
in [General]
|
From: TMC via AccessMonster.com on 5 May 2010 16:22 I'm using David Hitchner's MODCOMM module that I found on Tony Toew's site to read continuous data from a serial port. It works fine running under 98 but when using XP SP3 I need to put a MsgBox function after the ComOpen routine or it won't open the port. Has anyone run into a similar condition? I'm running both machine's ports the same (9600,n,8,1) and have verified everything else in relation to the ports are the same. I'm going to look at the situation in more depth tomorrow but was wondering if anyone else is using this module in XP with any success (as is).

Insert a DoEvents were you have the msgbox.
