    Did you use your debugger to see on which line of code it crashes (if needed, use the call stack to see in which of your function it crashes).

    But I can see what the error is, because when I use the debugger I don't have a value for str2, it says "symbol not found". But why does this happen? Does it have anything to do with multithreading?

    When you get an assert, the first step is to break into the code. If you can't work out what's wrong, the next step is to post the line number and even the actual line of code that's causing the assert. We need the line number and file as well, if we're to see it in context.

      It's not because you can't see the value of str2 that you are not able to see where your program crashes. Maybe you are trying to watch str2 out of its scope. It can only be watched if you have a breakpoint in the function where it is declared. Outside it, its not visible.

      But I try to watch the variable str2 inside the function and I can't. I know what ur trying to say, that's why I asked you if it's because of the multihtreading, is that why I can't see it's value?

          Use the callstack to see in which of YOUR function the code crashes. Then put a breakpoint at the begining of this function and step by step to see which instruction makes your program crash.

                  I use the folowing code to listen the com: void CMina_sView::OnListenCom1() { running = TRUE; AfxBeginThread(run,this); } void CMina_sView::ascultarea() { CSerial serial; LONG lLastError = ERROR_SUCCESS; DWORD dwBytesRead = 0 ; char szBuffer[21]; CString str2="jjk"; char of[5]= "Addd"; int i=10; const int nBuflen = sizeof(szBuffer)-1; lLastError = serial.Open(_T("COM1"),0,0,false); lLastError = serial.Setup(CSerial::EBaud9600,CSerial::EData8,CSerial::EParNone,CSerial::EStop1); lLastError = serial.SetMask(CSerial::EEventBreak | CSerial::EEventCTS | CSerial::EEventDSR | CSerial::EEventError | CSerial::EEventRing | CSerial::EEventRLSD | CSerial::EEventRecv); lLastError = serial.SetupReadTimeouts(CSerial::EReadTimeoutNonblocking); lLastError = serial.WaitEvent(); const CSerial::EEvent eEvent = serial.GetEventType(); if (eEvent & CSerial::EEventRecv) { while (running) {Sleep(300); dwBytesRead = 0; serial.Read(szBuffer,nBuflen,&dwBytesRead); szBuffer[dwBytesRead] = '\0'; str2.TrimLeft(); str2.TrimRight(); str2.TrimLeft(); str2.TrimRight(); // do smth with str2 } } //Sleep(0); running = FALSE; serial.Close(); } UINT CMina_sView::run(LPVOID p) { CMina_sView * me = (CMina_sView *)p; me->ascultarea(); return 0; } If I run the program I get an error. If I run it in debug mode I when try to watch str2 i get the error: "symbol "str2" not found" What's wrong? I can watch any other variable.

                  IME, symbol "str2" not found errors in the debugger are due to one of four things:      1: You typed the identifier incorrectly      2: You are in the wrong context      3: You are trying to view a static variable (VC++ 6.0)      4: You have overrun/underrun a buffer    Given that you are also getting additional errors, I would research #4.    Peace!

                    No, it is with VC++ v6.0. The error is comming from using the str2 CString variable. If I dont use any reference to it there is no problem.

                        Where does this code come from ?? :confused: Please, when you post something give the complete information. This has absolutely nothing to do with the first code snippet you posted. So how can we guess what the problem is :| ? What is this m_pSet and what is its value ? Is it a valid address ?

                              With all respect it can not be posible to have the problem when I don't use multithreads because i use str2 to edit a field in the database and that works fine. I run the program just fine.
