That is what I am using and I have tested it from com1 thru com 10 in DXBase2004 without problem. I have 2 built in com ports (1 and 2) and 2 Byterunner 4 port PCI cards to bring my com port count up to 10.. This is with the Byterunner PCI cards as I said, and Windows ME. I also successfuly tested this with Windows XP (but with DXB2003...never did any XP testing with 2004..didn't get the time). I would suspect your com cards. What are you using? Ron, N5IN
