Serial comm

Hi, I'm doing the serial comm through RS232, with the following code, I cant receive the data in the sequece what I want. Eg, the transmitter send "ABC" continuously, I might receice it as "ABCABCCBAABCBAC......." etc. Anyone can tell me what is going wrong? Thanks an advance!!!


Private Sub Form_Load()

With MSComm1
.CommPort = 5
.Settings = "9600,N,8,1
.RThreshold = 1
.InputLen = 0
.PortOpen = True
End With
End Sub

Private Sub MSComm1_OnComm()
DIm tmpstr as string

tmpstr = MSComm1.Input
Text2.Text = tmpstr
End sub

More than likely you're overrunning the buffer. You need some kind of flow control on continuous sending, or a slower baud rate, or you'll drop characters.
