Trouble with visual basic and ax1500

I am creating a program to controll my ax1500 from a laptop, but when i send it commands from vb the only thing that i get back is the echo of the command that i sent, but when i try it in the hyperterminal program in windows it sends back commands back fine. I have the mscomm comminication settings set to 9600,e,7,1 which are the settings that the manual says to use. If anybody has any simple source code for visual basic 6 or any information it would be very much appreciated.

There is a Visual Basic 6 example in our Technical Resources page. See <A href="dev.roboteq.com/dev1/techressources.html" target=_blank>dev.roboteq.com/dev1/techressources.html

I tried that program and all it will do is blink "hello" in the text box. It wont communicate with the controller at all.

Please confirm that you can otherwise communicate with the controller using Roborun and/or Hypterterm, and on which port.

I can get the controller to function perfectly with both roborun and hypterterm. It is just that when i try to communicate with it through vb it dosent work. I have checked and double checked all the port and baud settings and still nothing.

Works great. Thanks for the help.
