[kvishnubhat]

Hi
I have created a form in version VB6. Basically I want to control a relay using a click button. There are 8 relays connected and i am using 8 different command buttons to switch "ON" and "OFF". My Objective is to one cmd button should control one relay and 8 relays should work indipendtly( should not wait ). I am stuck with code, confused what to use?

Please help me with prototype code.
Reply if you have any questions.

Thanks

you connect that to the parallel port?

if that case in every pin
there is a corresponds value

pin o = PortOut &H378, 1
pin1 = PortOut &H378, 2
pin 2 = PortOut &H378, 4
pin 3 = PortOut &H378, 8
pin 4 = PortOut &H378,16
pin 5= PortOut &H378, 32
pin 6 = PortOut &H378, 64
pin 7 = PortOut &H378, 128

and use the io.dll

No I am using a serial port - Relay Board Manuf given me drivers for the serail port. With the help of drivers i am able to send the commands. My problem is How to program (In VB6) the different 8 relays i want all the relays to be running with 8 different duty cycle( which is selected by user) and each relay is configurable (i mean is - user should be able to switch on/off at any point of time - may be 10min, 60 min, 2 days etc...)
