Hi everyone, I was not sure which forum this question really belongs to. However, here goes.... I have a program running under Windows XP that communicates with a hardware device through the parallel port. Now what I want to do is write a program that can read/write messages to that port (basically remove the hardware physically and simulate it through software). However, in documentation I read that the COM port is always opened with an exclusive access. Does anyone know if there is a way to bypass that or maybe I have interpreted the documentation in a wrong way.
