[qweas]

I have a form which has a frame and inside that frame there is three option boxes, each of the option boxes are called:
COM1
COM2
COM3
Following these three options and outside the frame there is a massive text box.

The problem is how do i get a command box called READ next to the text box to read the infomation from from either of the ports COM1, COM2 and COM3.
What do i do to the 3 option boxes.
I need the code to program the command button READ, please does anyone nhave any suggestions to how to do this.

Thanks

The first thing on the list will be a primer for an example program on the VB6 CDRom which does exactly this.

gweas,
You posted this exact post a couple of days ago, you should check that thread for suggestions. Anything is possible, the problem is I only have one lifetime.
