Questions and Answers

1. Q. How do you get the SeeThru property on the Graph control (GRAPH.VBX)
      to work properly?

   A. The SeeThru property does not work properly.

2. Q. Why am I getting an "Invalid Port Number" error message when using my
      Communications control?

   A. The online Help topic for the CommPort property of the
      Communications control incorrectly states that portNumber can be set
      to any number between 1 and 99.  Setting a value greater than 16
      generates an "Invalid Port Number" message.
