Topic: How to change Comm.Settings?
|
| By: Guest | Posted on: Aug 21 2010 at 01:01:08 AM | I want to be able to read in the settings from an ini file. This is what I have and it gives me an error "Property value is not valid"
Dim Bits_Per_Second As String
Dim Data_Bits As String
Dim Parity As String
Dim Stop_Bits As String
tmp = Bits_Per_Second & "," & Data_Bits & "," & Parity & "," & Stop_Bits
Comm1.Settings = tmp
Please help!

Speed, Parity, DataBits, StopBits (The parity comes before the databits)
Try this.
tmp = Bits_Per_Second & "," & Parity & "," & Data_Bits & "," & Stop_Bits
You also don't show us what the actual values are. | |

I have tried same with upper/lower case "N" and spaces after the commas.
I have tried temp$="57000,N,8,1" and then "Comm1.Settings=temp$"
Each time I get same error. I am using VB6 SP 6. | |

57600 is a standard baud rate.
Here's the most common baud rates.
110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400 56000, 57600, 115200, 128000, 256000, 512000, 768000, 230400, 460800
you'll see that 57000 is not in that list. What hardware do you have that uses 57000 ? If you're sure that you need 57000 then send us an email and we'll send you an update to force it in there - but it'll still crash if your hardware won't accept that specific speed.
