Many thanks! This worked fine:

CommV24.Open("\\.\COM10"
Hi Chris,

Many thanks! This worked fine:

CommV24.Open("\\.\COM10", 9600, {}, conn);

If you look at the source code of 'CommV24.Open' you will see that it passes
the first parameter (device name) to the WinAPI function 'CreateFileW'.

The following Microsoft KnowledgeBase article describes what you have to do
if you want to access COM ports numbered higher than 9 when using
'CreateFile' (I don't know but assume it will work with CraeteFileW as
well):
