Question
I used foxpro2.6 and run on windowsXP OS. can you show me the way how can I send and receive data from COM port?

Answer
Hi Toan,
  In FoxPro 2.6 on XP, you should be able to use fopen(), fread(), fclose() to access data from COM ports. But I don't remember doing it in recent past. But I've used a utility called Com2Kb for doing the same.

Try googling for COM2KB utility.

Hope this helps...
