Newer kid on the block: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/serial.aspx PJ Naughter's old MFC-specific article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/cserialport.aspx One issue you need to be aware of - accessing the serial port requires being logged in as Administrator. And you may still have to set some privilege flags on your login token even with Admin privileges (SE_DEBUG_NAME is a privilege that bypasses most security mechanisms in Windows - you have to be Administrator to set it). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
