Hi all,

I'm hoping someone here may have worked with the MSComm control previously.

I have successfully got the function up and runnning (after much sweat and tears) and reading from my serial device (a horseshoe cheque reader) - albeit a little unreliably.

The problem, is that it seems to read the cheque details as two separate strings - instead of one long one. ie. it seperates the cheque number as one string and the account no/bsb number as another.

Does anyone here know much about using the mscomm32 active x control - and if so - if I send my code might be able to offer some advice?

I am using the control in a worksheet (instead of the usual - in a form).

Cheers

Rob
