  it does make sense to  leave it this way. the way i had it, seem like i was double checking for some reason which is not necessary.

 thanks.

    switch(status_check)                                              
       {                                                                 
                                                                         
           case -3:                                                      
                                                                             
                                                                     
                      DisplayRS232Error (status_check);                  
                      break;                                             
                }         

and to end my program i would just put exit(0); in the DisplayRS232Error (status_check); ? correct?

that way my program would end after a error.

Well, no: a program should take care of clearing all allocated resources, so you should proceed up the code end where a CloseCom () function should be present (which BTW it isn't at present). The code I posted some message earlier does this (apart closing the port, which I forgot to add).

what is BTW ?

OMG

It's an acronym for By The Way.

FYI, here you can find a list of common acronyms...

darnell,

Are you aware that people responding to your posts are not posting "dummy code" or "garbage code".

They all send real, ready-to-use code. But you are not..

You keep sending some code that you do not even check before clicking "Post" button below.

How could you think that people helping you deserve such careless replies !?

They are trying to help you, but you keep making it more and more difficult 😞

Just show some respect. I do not mean kudos.

Show that you care about people's efforts by applying what they have suggested.

[darnell]

sorry that you are wrong, i did everything they told me to do. what i think is happening when i do it or consider doing it, i dont let you know right off hand that i did

it. because im at work all day, and then by the time i respond ,10 hours have pass by, and then  i go check my email and then i get a response back that i have already 

done. its just our timing off. but yes i have encorporated majority of your ideals.

[RobertoBozzolo]

OK darnell, so we're expecting that your next post in this thread (if there will be) will integrate all suggestions that we have proposed you in our answers, or at least clears all errors we have pointed you to.

darnell,

If you sincerely think I am wrong, please to go to page-1 of this thread and read all the messages one after other, 1-by-1, carefully.

Then, re-consider what you have just written.

After you finished reading, can you still explain all this garbage with just time difference?

Why do you think your (and only your) threads take around 40-50 posts and still remain unsolved?

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but maybe it would be a good idea to send darnell on a LabView course

I wonder how he'd get on with their forum members...
