COM10 Opens as a file

[Eric Kelderman]

Hi

hComm = FreeFile
Comm Open COMPORT As #hComm

This "simple" code works fine up to Com 9 but com 10 and higher
are opened as a file on disk....

I was testing under Windows NT4 sp5

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
Eric Kelderman

PS
I use a multi com port card with 8 Com adding to the 2 on
the computer.

Just out of curiosity how did you remove that file?
I had this happen, used OLD PB 3.5, never could remove that file....and if you right clicked => Properties it would raise DTR!! hehe..
