MSComm.Input not reading full string

[phishbone]

Hello,
I'm trying to read in from the COM port. The device connected to the PC sends the following string:

"1/1/4 12-30-0,65411,65411,0,46504,56080,65296,0,0,0,0,0"

but my VB program only reads in "1/1/4 12" and then I get a framing error. Does anyone know why I'm getting this?

I'm using:

MSComm1.InputLen = 0
MSComm1.PortOpen = True

Try something like this ...

Do
DoEvents
Loop Until MSComm1.InBufferCount >= 55 'string length
' Read the data in the serial port.
Instring = MSComm1.Input
