[AccessD] MSComm control - Cross post AccessD & dba-vb

Hi All,

I am using the MSComm control to capture data the is coming over the serial
port.
I am using the OnComm event to determine when data is received by looking at
the ComEvent property and detecting a comEVReceive status.

When the attached device sends information to the serial port it actually
send 3 lines of information (on average, could be more).
What I am wondering is when does the OnComm event fire? Does it fire after
all the data has been received or does it fire as soon as the first
character is received into the input buffer? What I am trying to avoid is
pulling the data from the input buffer before all the data is there. That
way I can capture everything I need before I start parsing the data.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Joe R.
