ETECTING THE
Report Manager is designed to automatically detect the
active COM port on your PC, usually COM1 or COM2.
Some PC configurations may require you to manually
select a COM port.
Some PCs are unable to properly respond to the automatic
searches by Report Manager. When this occurs, the PC
can slow down or exhibit erratic mouse operation.

you can manually set the active COM Port in Report
Manager using the following procedure:
1. Select View, then Options, then the
Communications tab.
2. Select Manually Select Communications Port.
3. Highlight the proper COM port.
4. Click OK.
