   Thank you for your response. I have the Do loop because the length of   
   the string varies from 7 to 13 characters randomly. Like I said before   
   this is my first time using VB, so I will look into that MSC_OnComm()   
   function to see if I could use it.   
      
   Anyway, I don't think that is going to solve my data displaying problem.   
   I spoke to one of my professors today and he pointed out something   
   interesting about the way I am building my strings. I did not really   
   understand him then but now I know where to look.
