If you already know c++ and pascal, it seems pointless learning VB (since the language can be pretty restrictive) unless you need it for "prototyping"... Why don't you go straight to Delphi (or visual C++). About the com port, Visual Basic doesn't have much low level support.. if you want to access com ports (or memory addresses, or anything else) you will have to get an ocx, (or vbx) or write your own dll (in c++, or delphi), which you can then call from visual basic. A web search should turn up heaps of links explaining how to mix vb and C++ dlls. Benjamin Johnston s355171@xxxxxxx.xx.xxx.xx
