Hi,
The class from Microsoft "should" do the job. Why is it that you cannot use
it?
You can download NETComm.ocx from my homepage and I have my own class in my
book (see below), too. Also, there are a number of others available on the
Internet, including a version of Sax Com .NET in the Visual Basic .NET
Resource Kit, which may be downloaded from Microsoft, or ordered on CD-ROM
for a small shipping fee. The Resource Kit has lots of other useful tools,
too.
