Variable not defined

[VicEllins]

Attempting to dial the modem with:

MSComm1.CommPort = 3
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
MSComm1.Output = "ATDT" & A$ & vbCr

I got a "compile error, Variable not defined" for the MSComm1.

How do I define it?

Um, if you are talking about the normal comm control then you just drop it onto your form and make sure its name is MSComm1.

I did that and it still says "Device not open". The nwe control is MSComm1_OnMSComm1 which I assume responds to incoming data.
