Um, how is your post for a fix for a reminders problem related to the fact that we can't reopen a COM port once a CF GPS has been opened and closed? I just don't see the connection. I don't see anything at all in that thread that would have anything to do with fixing this COM port problem.

Note that Mapopolis has done some extensive debugging. The port actually does reopen -- they get a handle to it just fine -- they can even adjust settings for it -- but once they try to read data from it, MS gives a "resource unavailable" error (even though the handle stays valid). This appears to be a significant problem with the Axims and CF-based serial ports...

If I'm missing something in your thread that has anything to do with this problem, please direct me to it. Thanks.
