Hi,

I had an application that accesses 8 ports ( com1-com8).
would it be possible to just insert one mscomm control but assigning it into different ports? one the design right now is i have to insert 8 times mscomm active x control in my form in order to access 8 different ports. I'm a little bit affraid because this might cause problems on windows or not. would it require bigger memory so that windows can accomodate those task efficiently? My application is a mission criticcal app.

Please advice. thanks in advance.
