No problem Gizmo, I have it worked out. Seems like MS is sending this kill bit quite often in new updates. I figured out how to change it in the registry so I saved the entry change and put it on my desktop. Before I run Access I just update the registry entry. Works like a charm. Mike

Oh yea, me too. It's not easy. It messes with us here in engineering quite a bit. We actually had the pushes stopped here a while back but now they continue. So I get to spend 2 days on the forums looking for fixes Valid excuse for surfing at work. M

I have been hunting around. An Access forum was worth a try. There has to be someone out there that is using access similar to the way I am. If not, the hunt continues. This issue is access related since my stand alone VB routines work fine. M

New member here hoping to get some expert help. I have an access db using access 07. I am using a serial port to collect ASCII data from a PLC project. In the db I have a label I click to turn the comm port on and off and a drop list to select the comm port. This db worked perfect a couple...
