ParityReplace Sets or Retrieves the character that will be used to replace bytes which have failed a parity check. MSComm32 and SComm32 have the same syntax and functionality. Syntax:- SComm1.ParityReplace = value   value:- A String Expression containing a single character.   Example SComm1.ParityReplace = "?"

Remarks If parity is enabled (see the .Settings property) then the com port will complete a parity check on each byte as is it received. Any byte failing that parity check will be removed from the data stream and replaced by the ParityReplace character. The MSComm32 default is the "?" questionmark character. This property is a string so setting it to a string containing a number of characters would not throw an error but the property will ignore all but the first character
