Jeff Witzer: You write that have been checking a communications port inside your applications PeekMessage loop. I suggest that you set a timer and check the port every time you get a WM_TIMER message. In this way you have more control over how often you check the port. If you use your message loop, you may run into problems because when your application yields you may not get another message for a long time. The only way around this is to not yield correctly which I suspect you may be doing if you are using PeekMessage instead of GetMessage in your main application's message loop. Rick Masters P.S. My first post. No scathing flames please.
