I'm trying to have a program that only execute when there is something comeing in on the comport. I hopeing that there is a comport interrupt i can access. I don't want to poll for the comport because this take up systems resources.IF anyone has some sample code it would be greatly appreciate.

coverdale,<br>You're in luck..the MSComm control has an OnComm event, which will do what you need. A simple example would be:<br>Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()<br>dim myvar as string<br>If me!mscomm1.commevt = 2 then '2 = recieve<br> myvar = mscomm1.input<br> msgbox myvar & " just arrived in at Com " & me!mscomm1.commport & "!"<br>End If<br>--Jim
