MSCOMM32 - I don't understand

[baudouxf]

Hi All,

I created a frame with an serial communication option.

For reception, I work with the OnComm event procedure in order to catch the incoming messages. Everything works OK.

I transfer all my files to a LapTop and surprise, the frame doesn't get any incoming message.

The solution is to go to 'Tools, Option, Controls and add the MsComm32 OCX. Then, my frame works OK on the Laptop.

The same problem occurs if I generate an executable frame on the original DeskTop but for this I do not have any solution for the LapTop.

Hoping to be clear, any help would be apreciated.

Francis

Francis,
What version and service pack level of VFP are you using? Are you installing the application on the laptop using the Setup Wizard / Installshield or just copying files? If you are doing a proper install did you include the MsComm32 OCX in the list of files to install and register?
