Hi,
OK Panic over! Figured it out! In the VB program it sends a null character at the beginning of each string. Try and do that in Foxpro and it thinks it's a null string and sends nothing, even though you can see the contents of the string in the debugger.
Now whether or not the ultimate...
The settings for MSCOMM in the VB version are standard as are those in VFP. i.e. I haven't messed with them.
When I send, it (VFP)seems to do something but nothing appears in the HyperTerminal window.
I know there is some data in the output command line. So am a bit baffled at the moment...

Hi,
That's promising. The type of virtual comport I'm referring to is com0com. I'm trying to get VFP to send to hyperterminal - it's all on the same computer. I can get it to work on a Visual Basic program but I'd prefer to use VFP if possible...
Hi,
I am still trying to get a VFP6 application to send data via MSCOMM. I would like to be able to test it using virtual comports and HyperTerminal.
Problem - doesn't seem to work with virtual comports. There's no problem using VB, so why doesn't it work with VFP?
