Show some code. Without it we are completely guessing.

ole_1.object.CommPort = 1
ole_1.object.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
ole_1.object.InputLen = 0
if not ole_1.object.PortOpen then
ole_1.object.PortOpen = true
end if

the error came from ole_1.object.PortOpen = true
"Error accessing external object property portopen at line 5
in clicked event..."

PortOpen is a valid attribute? I typically use Excel's object browser to
look at these things. In excel, use Alt F11 to go to the VB editor mode and
then use the object browser. (Use Tools References to add the object to the
list).

Hi All,
I'm trying to send a string to certain port using OLE object using powerbuilder 11.5 , below is the steps I have done:
- I registred the mscomm32.ocx
- Created OLE object control and dropped it in a window
- Under button, I put te below code
ole_1.object.CommPort = 1
ole_1.object.Settings = "115200,n,8,1" // 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data, and 1 stop bit
ole_1.object.RThreshold = 1
ole_1.object.InputLen = 0 // Tell the control to read entire buffer when Input is used
ole_1.object.InputMode = 0

try
ole_1.object.PortOpen = True // Open the port
ole_1.object.Output = "Hello" // Send the attention command to the modem
CATCH (OLERuntimeError e)
MessageBox("Port Open Failed", e.Text, StopSign!)
finally

lb_rtn = ole_1.Object.PortOpen = False

end try
//*************************************

when I press the button, I got an error message says:
"error accessing external object propperty portopen "

any help please ?
