Is it possible to send data to a comm port that is in use to another application,
using the MSComm control?  I would like to put a modem in command state, issue some commands
and then go back online.  When I try to open the port to VB, VB responds with "port already
open".  If I try to send data to the port VB responds with "port must be opened first".

Not with MSComm. If you are controlling both applications and are using
VB4, you can do it with PDQComm 3.1. We just added the capability to share
open ports amoung applications. For more info, check out our web site at
