[Hidayat]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to access the serial port in VFP..?.
in our office currently use telephone billing system that
was develop using clipper, we do not have the source code
because vendor just give us the exe file and data file and
now we miss out the vendor information.

Current condition, all telephone call are go through to
PABX then from PABX there is serial connection cable to
the serial port in the PC and the Telephone billing system
is installed on that PC.

So please advice, and thank you for the support

You can use the MSCOMM32.OCX active x control library. Go here for more

Hi,

I have developed a telephone billing system using visual
foxpro 6. You need to use the MSCOMM control to access the
serial port. This usually ships with windows and if you
drop the control on a form, click on it and press F1, you
should be able to see the help on how to implement the
control in your application.
