It sounds to me like you are trying to get 2 apps to access one COM port.
I don't know how that could cause GPF's, though. :/

 Help on GPF...what am I doing wrong???

I get a GPF when I excute my Application/Program.

My program makes use of two forms which inturn has
textboxes, list boxes,frames, menu,Toolbar, Indextabs etc.

It makes use of MSComm control.

The application is used to dial into a remote computer and
start a communications application like Terminal. I make use
of the Shell command to start the
terminal after my program sets up the connection by running a logon
script.

I get a GPF when I Close my application after launching Terminal. Why
could it be???

I tried to check the memory available on the system  after I Start
Executing my program from VB. Using the About command from program
manager's Help menu command I figured out that only about 20-30% of
memory was free during the execution of my application. Even if I Create
a Executable and run it directly after starting Windows the Amount of
free memory available is less than 40%.

Can you suggest me a way of avoiding the memory utilization?
When I Exit the program by using End Statement I Unload my forms.
Should I Unload each control individually?

The Memory configuration on my PC is

                Total   =       Used    +       Free
Conventional    640K            88K     +       552K
Upper           139K            119K    +       20K
reserved        OK              OK              OK
Extended(XMS)   15,093K         2,281K          12,812K

TotalMemory     15,872K         2,488K          13,384K
Total Under 1MB 779K            207K            572K

MS-Dos is resident in the high memory area.

Is this OK to run Build Applications with custom controls.

Do I Have to take any prcautions before using a Shell Command to Avoid
GPF??

Please mail me your responses.

Thanks,
