serial port RS232:any difference between VFP6 and higher?

[Fabmoda]

I've write a program that reads some information from a card-reader connected to rs232 serial port using MSCOMM32.OCX . It works correctly running from VFP6 but if I re-build the same application using VFP7 something strange happen during the runtime: the strings of byte read from serial port are truncated and shorter than the ones readed with the VFP6-executable.

What does it means? Someting mistake in my configuration of VFP7 or difference between VFP6 and VFP7 in using MSCOMM32.OCX?

following I describe my connection with the serial port

Testcom=createobject("MSCOMMLib.MSComm&quot
Testcom.CommPort = 2
Testcom.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
Testcom.PortOpen = .T.

Thanks a lot

Maybe change the InBufferSize property to something larger?
