COM Port Sample problem

Hi all,

I have been using the 'COM Port Sample' which is provided with MS VB
2005 Express Edition (RS232.vb), and I only seem to be able to get it
to function with com ports up to COM9. Any suggestions on how to make
it work with higher com port numbers?

Thanks,

Reuben

Hi,

I don't know anything about that example. However, I do have example code
that you can download from my web site. It should get you started (and it
can open any installed port).
