I assume your talking about an LED and not a 110/220V light bulb! First, the serial port is a bad choice to connect an LED to. It's cumbersome to control since most signals only last a fraction of a second on the serial port and there are only a few lines that will actually hold a signal up or down. The better choice for this would be the Parallel port. You can find many exmaples of this on the web. A good example, complete with LED's and switch inputs, can be found at http://www.logix4u.net[^] RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
