query on VB6 STRING maximum Size??

[yviswanathbe]

Hi,

what is the maximum size a string variable can hold in VB6?

in my project i am continuously sending 9bytes of data from micro controller every 1second to PC using RS232 interface.PC end i am collecting the data using VB6.0 MSCOMM ONCOMM Event.

To check whether all the bytes have been received, I am appending this data in a string variable. Everything works fine. But after 15 hours of TEST, the software hanged and i am forced to close the application.

Does the problem with the string variable? I mean if the string size is exceeded will the software hangs? What is maximum string size ?

How do i know during which condition the software hangs?

could some body help me in this regard?

Thanks and Regards,
Viswanath

make sure that, whether you have defined the all variables, you may try "OPTION EXPLICIT" command
