I have 2 computers communicating via serial port. I wrote a simple vb6 app using the MScomm object. The two computers talk to each other and what I send from one appears correctly in a text box on the other computer and vice versa. I went to write the text to a text file and each letter appears on a new line.
I changed the incoming string length attribute of MScomm to 25. now the text file entry is a single column 8 characters wide.

Is there something simple and basic that I am missing here? Is there any sample code that demonstrates this?

Thanks
