If you have recently upgraded your PC operating system or have installed or uninstalled certain software, the RS-232 support in AP Basic may have been corrupted. The following error message is produced when this occurs:
"Communications control MScomm32.ocx could not be loaded."
Extract “MSCOMM32.OCX” from the linked .zip file download below, and place it into the “C:WINDOWSsystem32” folder. Then go to the Start Menu, select Run... , and copy the following into the dialog box:
regsvr32 C:WINDOWSsystem32MSCOMM32.ocx
After you press OK, you should get a dialog that indicates that the OCX registration was successful.
Now, AP Basic macros using RS-232 commands should be working properly.
