Anyone know whats wrong with this code

Hi Jerson

I tried the mod u suggest but it does not work, it locks the prog up as before.
I was looking on the MS website and i think i found a clue, I may be placing the code in the wrong place ?.
The MS example i found uses a command line interface with the code snips place in a code module.
What i am doing is simply placing a button on a form and putting the code snips in the buttonclick sub.

The worst thing is that MS doesnt provide a simple working example and i cant find anyone that KNOWS how to do this one simple thing, its driving me bloody nuts.

try the usual way. Like I said, at application startup, do the openserialport method call(without the using keyword). Then when you are about to close the app, close serial port(dont know if theres a method for this). I wouldnt mind giving it a shot, but it will take a couple of days since I am very tied up right now with other assignments.
Perhaps you could ZIP attach the app for me to look at.

Thanks for your offer but i have to get this thing working today, i am going to try to find a book that explains it.

If anyone knows how to do serial comms in VB Express please help.
