For those who have asked, I looked at the BIOS settings for the COM ports last night and all I could control was COM1 and it was set to "Auto". This happens to be for the address. I have sent the motherboard manufacturer email, filling out their form, to see what they say is the problem.
Keep you posted. Yeah I know this is off subject, but some of you may get hit with this same problem some day and find it while trying to use DXBase. Bob KB4CL
