We have a old version of the PB Application and its running fine in the production. Its using
mscomm32.ocx control to print labels thru the application. Now we have a newer version of the PB Appeon 2019 R2. When we compile the code and run the newer version then the application is working but the print functionality is NOT WORKING. Getting error  "Error Accessing external object property portopen". Do you have a new version of serial communication control to register for newer version of PB ? Appreciate your response.

Thanks

Ramesh G
