Res.All,
I am using the mscomm activex control to dial automatically from my
Microsoft Access application. It ran perfectly in full access program.But
when I tried from access runtime version shipped in the developer edition,
it does not work. Any solutions? Or activeXcontrols don't work under access
runtime environment?

Thanking you in anticipation

Yours
Prashant

"does not work" doesn't give much to go on...

What happens when the code attempts to run? Do you get an error? If so,
what's the error?

Res.Mr.Douglas,
Thanks for the reply. I am sorry. I should have given you full
description.
The error is :- Device not open.
It occurs when the code is mscomm1.portopen = true

I'm not aware of any problems specific to using run-time with the MsComm
control.

Tony Toews has a bit about using serial communication with Access at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/serialport.htm. See whether there's anything
there.
